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.

I second Tobias. The hot rods will serve you well.

Concur with Tobias. I owned the 2CE Signatures but they were just too imposing on the room. Went with the Shearwater Hot Rods and am very pleased. The sloped baffle helps them blend in to the room visually. Be sure to try them with grills on and off, big difference. I like the grills on. Good luck.

It'salldark, I would grab Fidelios too, if I could get them for $2500! But I would hesitate to drive them with 60W tube amps, even Quicksilver quality. I heard Verities--Fidelios or Parsifals, don't remember which--with 150W Tenor monoblocks last year in Montreal, and the effect was best in show.

Jeff, I can vouch for the fact that the WAF on Shearwaters is quite high.
