Full range speakers with small footprint?

I've decided to sell my Vandersteen 2Ce's because they are too big (or visually imposing) for my living room and my planned dedicated listening room is not going to happen very soon. Can anyone recommend a floor standing speaker with a smaller footprint that is capable of producing some bass? They would be driven by Quicksilver amps, 60 wpc.

Thanks for your ideas, Jeff.

Tobias, I have driven mine with a 50wpc Cary V12-R with no problem at all. Although I don't listen to music at the levels I used to--every once and a while when I have the house to myself, I turn it up! These speakers seem to be easy to drive to very loud levels, and I may add sound wonderful!! I have owned them for just over two years and have driven them with three different tube amps, none with more then 75wpc!

Sorry, I didn't see the $2500.00 budget!

Hi,
I have a pair in the cherry and love them.They give you the imaging of a monitor and bass of a floorstander. I drive them with a Sophia Electric KT 88 in an 18x21 room.
There is a pair listed on Audiogon at an excellent price.
Good luck,

I forgot to mention that they are the Tetra 305 Kids.

Itsalldark, I stand corrected on Fidelios and watts. Thank you very much indeed. Maybe I can see my way to a pair a bit sooner now. BTW the Cary V12 is a very strong-shouldered piece of gear. I heard it driving Quad 988s a few years ago. I liked it a lot. Very firm control, and very musical.
