If used speakers are an option, I'd recommend the Gemme Audio Tanto or Katana (v2) verisons. Small floorstanders with great sound and high WAF in walnut versions.
These speakers put out an amazing amount of bass for a speaker of any size and are a simple design so there's not much to go wrong. The company has since restructured, and they are no longer made, but that means you can find them on the used market for great prices. (< 2k)
