Sell towers for bookshelves?


I'm currently running a pair of NHT 2.5i towers with a McCormack DNA 0.5 deluxe power amp and a Peachtree Decco as pre-amp/DAC (connected to cpu via usb). I may be moving into a smaller apartment within the next few months, and I was considering selling my towers for a pair of higher end bookshelf speakers (used most likely). I'm sure I could afford bookshelves with greater accuracy than my NHTs.
Does anybody have any input on this considering my amplification setup (which I would probably prefer not to have to change). Any suggestions for used bookshelf speakers? Thanks!

Bookshelves on proper stands can give your neighbors bass issues as well.
Maybe just sorbothane feet under the speakers? Or even a thick piece of carpet to decouple them from the floor.
Elevick, are you referring to my current speakers as far as decoupling goes? They actually have NHT's spike kit installed, allowing each speaker to touch the floor at the tips of four rather sharp spikes only. Still, I think that I would have less low end without the low 8" drivers and the large cabinet of a tower. Though again, that is only part of the reason I would purchase different speakers, the main reason being an increase in fidelity. I would also consider towers with just tweeters and midranges, though i figure I could get more for my money with bookshelves, as I am willing to sacrifice some dynamic range on the low end. I think the proacs are along the lines of what I may be looking for.
Quick question, how do the older B&W Matrix 804s compare to my NHTs? (With my current amplification)
