speaker with good low level detail

Can anyone give me a recomendation for a full range (or close)speaker with a fairly small footprint that has good low level detail? I will be using this speaker with VTL MB 125 monos and probably a Cary CD running dir to amps. This setup will be for a second system that will mostly be used for background music but I still want a rich,dynamic involving sound. I definately prefer to buy used and looking in the neighborhood of $1000.00.
Thanks

Umn - The Totems look good but at 85 db they seem like they would be hard to drive. Would 125 tube watts be enough for higher levels say 80-85 db in a larg room? Mostly they will be used at much lower levels but Im sure I will want to crank em up from time to time.

Sorry I didn't see your post.
My room size 12 x 22 x 8 high.
I am listening now with my volume only a 1/4 the way open (9 o'oclock.) Measured 65db. My amp is rated 45watts.

My suggestion is to email Totem acoustics or call. See their site. Vince, the owner usually responds. He is very helpful. I found him very quite knowledgable in how associated equipment sounds with his Arro's.

Intuitive Design Summits have astonishing realism, detail, soundstaging and smoothness. More people need to know about these. I HAD been looking for speakers of this caliber all of my adult life. Found 'em, bought 'em, love 'em, and plan to keep 'em.

Oops, I missed the stated price range. These would be off by about a factor of five. My honest mistake, and I apologize for not reading more carefully, and did not mean to distract from the thread.
