Best Small Floorstanding Speaker under $2K

What is everyone's opinion? 

I really like the idea of Zu's Omen and Soul but they do seem a little bigger than I would like.

I am not a bass-head so I don't need the deeper, stronger, bass that a larger speaker provides.

I love the simplicity of having a couple of tower speakers as opposed to a 2.1 setup.

I've been running Totem Forests for years.  Czarivey is right, they throw a wide soundstage and also image very well.  Seems to me mine sound best with higher power solid state than with with tubes but that's not to say the sound is bad with tubes.  Not important to you, maybe, but the Forests do bass very well.  

A little narrower and taller than the Forests:  Silverline Prelude Plus.  Under $2K new.  See Underwood HiFi.  These are more sensitive than the Forests and, for me, work very well with tubes.  They too throw a wide soundstage with remarkable imaging.  They do not do bass as well as the Forests...but, given on your listening preferences, this might not even be an issue.   

Good luck in your search.
