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.

again check the druids...sensitivity over 100 so your 60 watts can drive them really well...

tvad,
i think i understand what you are saying but this is more to the point. the woofer used in the vsm has an excursion of one full inch and a resonant freq or 28hz. if you use the speakers with a tonally neutral set of electronics and wires and use the speaker the way they were designed to be used, the bass can be very powerful and deep. if you lean out the tonality by using leaner or more damped sounding associated gear then they will sound lighter in weight. the speakers are 4 db down at 30hz and in the right room even that can be embellished. they can do mettallica just fine here at the plant in a 24 by 28 by 16 foot tall room.

hi tvad,
i agree about hearing a speaker with your own music and that one's own personal preference has a lot to do with ones choice. but this speaker in particular is extremely continuous from top to bottom. and it is possible that the individual that owned them may not have had them set up to best show what you were after personally. this is in an ancillary sense and even, placement. the speaker (the vsm mm or mx and super bam in particlar) do not have a tonality issues and can be worked with to address ones preferences to a degree. the se is lighter sounding and more suited to se tubes, imho.
