Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000?

Totem Arro!

I have a friend who replaced the MDF bases w/ polished granite (cheap from countertop company) - looks and sounds beautiful!!!

Thanks for the good suggestions all Sorry for the confusion -- the Audiogon system deleted my "less than" sign. Yes I'm hoping to keep this under $1000 but that includes used. Part of WAF of course is total outlay ;-)

Soulbrass -- I have a set of Arros and I love them, but they are not sensitive speakers -- they take a fair amount of juice to sound good. I want to drive these speakers with a 30WPC amp.

Check out the Monitor Audio RS6. Very easy to drive (91dB). Amazing bass for this size floorstanding speaker. New under $1000. The the Rosenut wood is beautiful!!!

Moth Audio Cicada, now discontinued--if you can find them. I've wanted to try a pair of these ever since I read the review in Listener. ( Mr. Dudley reviewed them again for Stereophile in 2004. ) Here's another review ( which also mentions a couple more speakers in the Cicadas' class ) :

I think the Cicadas' WAF is very high, at least for my W.

I like the sound of my Coincident Conquests and Triumphs better than my Soliloquys. However, if WAF is a factor, Soliloquys are really nice and have passed the test with my wife-check out the 2A3 model with stands.
