Best relatively Compact Speakers in $2000 range??

I love my Revel F30s, but the room I have them in is very small and as many of you know the F30s are VERY bulky - not to mention they really need to be spaced from the back wall. Is there a more compact alternative in the $2000 (used) range that will give me similar performance, especially the pristine voice coil and exceptional bass extension of the F30s?? I'm also a great fan of the F30s treble adjustment, as I prefer a more natural, mellow sound. I've heard mention of the ProAc Response 3s but I have yet to find any dimensional information on them. Other suggestions?? System info: Citation 5.1 bridged amp/Conrad Johnson PV-10AL Pre/Music Hall CD-25/music meter ICs/Harmonic Tech wire

I think Dsremer meant the Tyler Linbrooks. They sell in the 1850-2200$ range used, while the ref monitors sell between 1100-1200$ used

Actually, I was speaking about buying direct from Tyler Acoustics (used) inc stands and shipping, appox $1600.00. The Linbrooks would be much more.

I haven't heard Tyler as many recommend (good Seas Excel drivers, explains their popularity) but i would suggest the one i had chance to own and listen. That is Silverline SR-17. Dynaudio based monitors with satisfiying bass and all!

If i were to clarify further, i guess i would be looking for a low footprint, floor standing speaker. that way i could get the bass I want without the bulk.I would however like to investigate the M20 option. didn't know about the Class A/B distinction.
