For nearfield listening: which of these towers?

Totem Arro, Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand, Silverline Audio Prelude. Will be using an SS integrated without a sub in a small room. CDs only.

Please forgive my questions, but if you would be so kind to answer ... 1. Is your reply based on experience, proclaimed specs, or your knowledge of their physical makeup? 2. By "best bass", do you mean deeper, or tighter/more true tone, or all of the above?

I heard ones in 2004 at NYC CES driven by Plinius 8200 integrated. Imaging of Arro is hard to beat by any spekaer you can think of. They simply dissapear. Somewhat similar imaging I heard from vintage B&O towers that I can't recall the model. I've also been in Silverline room, but that one didn't leave any impressions back than.
