Full range speakers with small footprint?

I've decided to sell my Vandersteen 2Ce's because they are too big (or visually imposing) for my living room and my planned dedicated listening room is not going to happen very soon. Can anyone recommend a floor standing speaker with a smaller footprint that is capable of producing some bass? They would be driven by Quicksilver amps, 60 wpc.

Thanks for your ideas, Jeff.

Agree the Vandy's are kinda ugly and big...Try Tyler's System's or Seas Thor kit.

Bartokfan: Did you ever get a chance to compare Tylers with your kit-built Thor? Assuming them to be of comparable quality, how much do we end up paying Ty for building the speaker?

Aktchi, in fact , an hour ago I sent Buck there in Jackson Mississippi a note asking if he has time this weekend for a visit. I plan to bring along my Jadis Orch Refer/KT90's and Cayin 17. Buck has the Cayin 50 cdp and so we'll get a chance to hear how the 2 compare. I'm expecting both to be very close. The Cayin 50(SACD) has 3 tubes, my 17 has 2 per channel.
I won't bring my Thors as its too much trouble. But I will be listening closely to a few reference cds before I leave and try to lock that sound in memory. I really look forward to the Tyler's Signature, the W22 as woofer may give the extra bottom the Thors lack. But as I really only listen to classical, not sure if I need more lower fq's.
....tell you what I may try to bring the Thors along with me....heck why not.
