A little help please.

I'm looking for a good set of floor standing speakers that I don't have to tilt my head, cup one ear, or move one speaker a tenth of an inch one way and move the other 3 inches this way and that way just to hear the SWEET SPOT. The room I'm putting them in isn't very large and I'd like to listen to my music without squirming around trying to hear it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Thank you all for your input. I see that set up and size of my listening space are really important and will move things around until that sweet spot is where it should be. Thanks again, Mike

Another vote for the Gallo Ref 3. Excellent imaging with a large sweet spot. Also, I found that Quad ESL-63's have a large sweet spot.

FWIW---> ONE (of the many) fine attributes of my recently purchased Intuitive Design Summits is a wiiiiddde sweet spot, with at least some preservation of central imaging even when seated outside of both speakers (yes, really). These are a two way dynamic design with 7" and 1" drivers and a transmission line, so don't know about how large of a room they could "fill", but do an astonishingly wonderful job thereof in our main living room, which is reasonably large, and is open to the kitchen, etc. The ceilings are not particularly high, though.
We also have a Rel Storm 3 sub-bass unit, although these Summits do pretty well on their own. Dale Pitcher told me that their rolloff is around 40 hertz, and from what I can hear, that sounds about right; accordingly, the switchable crossover frequency on the Rel sub-bass unit is set fairly low.
