Forced into Near Field Listening - which ProAc stand mount?

Recently moved into new digs, going from a far field listening position to one where furniture and room configuration dictate sitting much closer to speakers. Volume can't be anywhere near my old set-up, although I have a much more detailed presentation, and obviously less bottom end. My ProAc D-15's are now too much for the room - aesthetically and performance wise. I'm want to stay in the ProAc line - I'm thinking D-2's but what other ProAc monitors should I consider? Likely used, driven by YBA Passion integrated and Marantz SA-11s2.

Tablettes or maybe the 1sc (not in current production)

The Response DB1’s are very nice. I’ve had them for a year now and I’m very happy with them.  Very musical and sound good at modest volume. I usually listen in the 65 to 80 (max.) dB range. 

Downsized from the Response 5’s. Same house sound, but a bit more updated and refined. You probably can’t go wrong with the D2,s as well.

I REALLY liked the Tablette Anniversary in my brief ownership of them.
Very dynamic and vivid presentation, maybe a little coloured at the top end.
However I think would be well suited to the YBA.

They could certainly sing loud too if you needed them to.

Re D48's, I'd love to have them but well above budget and I think a stand mount will be a more pleasing look for the wife. The new digs are prairie style and vertical columns on the stands would fit fairly well. Thanks for the opinions.
