Best Small Floorstanding Speaker under $2K

Couple pairs of Soliloquy 5.3s for sale here now.  Small footprint, attractive, great imaging, and enough bass that you won't miss a sub.  And they're under $900/pr.  Best of luck.

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.
