Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000?

Thanks for the good suggestions all Sorry for the confusion -- the Audiogon system deleted my "less than" sign. Yes I'm hoping to keep this under $1000 but that includes used. Part of WAF of course is total outlay ;-)

Soulbrass -- I have a set of Arros and I love them, but they are not sensitive speakers -- they take a fair amount of juice to sound good. I want to drive these speakers with a 30WPC amp.

These are great. Thanks. The Preludes looked like a winner. Except they are too tall. La Jeffa balked. Sigh.

Yes, I think you are right Tvad. I was looking at the Walsh's and couldn't get their sensitivity rating.

Acceptable height is of course the height of the Arros because she likes those. Or a bit higher (maybe 36-37" max).

Altough the Mirage's (recommended by Johnnyb53) may be okay. I'm a tad concerned about sound quality from a dipole speaker though.

Sorry, I should have checked the height on the Mirages.

Actually, the wife instructs me to note that the stereo in the marital bedroom is good for the marriage. ;-)

It's just that the stereo needs to be heard and not seen.

Thanks all for the additional suggestions. Yes, upgrading the power amp is a good idea. I still need speakers though -- my Arros are in use as rear surrounds. A waste you say? Perhaps, but they look really nice in the family room (meaning they don't stand out), which is how it must be.

I've got a Pro-Ject amp box powering the Arros just fine for rear surround (or is it?). I'm really a two channel guy who dabbles in surround. Fronts are Wilson Benesch Curves powered by Kharma MP-150s. I have a used Zamp already purchased, which I was going to swap in as the rear surround amp for the Arros, and then use the Pro-Ject with the new speakers as a bedroom system.
