Suggestions short 3' tall floorstander?

I'm looking for a floorstander that is relatively short (38" MAX) in the $2500 - $3500 range. Use will be split 85/15 between music and HT.

They will be placed in front of (under) a wall mounted screen, so I obviously need something that will not block the screen. I know Totem and Gallo make relatively short floorstanders. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Dean

Are you just doing 2 channel, or will you be adding center and rears?

Gallo Classico 3 or 4 would be ideal.

I am doing 5.1 but my current concern is improving the 2 channel performance. Currently I have Totem Mite-T mains and Totem Mite-T center in front, a small pair of Mirage speakers (forget which model) in rear, and a Monitor Audio ASW-210 sub. The Mite Ts (on stands) will block the screen, so they must be placed on either side of the screen, leaving a big hole for 2-channel use. Using shorter stands wont work because of the MTM layout of the Mite-T (the tweeter would be too low).

I have tried Totem Arros as mains (only 33-34 inches tall), but they don't have the impact needed for the occasional HT use. This is partly due to the room layout which leaves the listening area with essentially no left wall and 4 feet of missing right-rear wall (an open entranceway). Thus, I think I need a short, somewhat muscular floorstander. I know Totem makes some bigger models, but I am interested in what else may be out there.
