Is it worth it?

I'll make this as brief as I can. I have a 15K front end, Audio Research, Theta, VPI etc. Retired to a small house, gave up my Von Schweikert 4.5s and listening room as part of the compromise my wife and I made. My room now is so small I need a monitor to try to get something I can live with with the quality of sound I'm use to. Nothing in this small town to hear, so can anyone suggest an alternative small speaker with state of the art sound? Envolving yet revealing. Thinking of Revel, Tyler, Totem but don't want to spend that kind of money if a lower cost speaker would come close, don't forget the room is the limiting factor. Help, before I throw in the towel!

In order of excellence (and $$!): Verity Audio Monitors ($6k); Revel M20 ($2k); Spendor S3/1p ($1400). Maybe the Concertinos. I prefer the more forgiving nature of the SF and Spendors rather than the ProAc under $2k....
Have fun...at least these are easy to carry around for demos! Be sure to get a good stand. I really like the steel/sand Plateau V23 out of Canada for $200 net. Real Target-killers at 1/3-price!
