Best Small Floorstanding Speaker under $2K

What is everyone's opinion? 

I really like the idea of Zu's Omen and Soul but they do seem a little bigger than I would like.

I am not a bass-head so I don't need the deeper, stronger, bass that a larger speaker provides.

I love the simplicity of having a couple of tower speakers as opposed to a 2.1 setup.

If your room isn't too big for it, I recommend an in-home audition of Ohm Walsh 1000s, $2000/pr.  If your room is smaller, the Walsh Micro Tall - $1400/pr - should do well.  You might be surprised at the extension and quality of the bass of these speakers, too.  See the Ohm Speakers web site, they offer a 120 in-home trial.

I'll second the Ohm recommendation and add Magnepan.  The latter is tall, but has a small footprint.

I thought Magnepan's were really big.

For small speakers (especially when deep bass is not a priority), I've always enjoyed the Totem Arro's.  They have outstanding soundstaging and project a holographic sonic image.  A very unique and captivating sound.
