need to down size to monitors

I recently moved into a place with a much smaller living room(15'x15')with a usable space of (11x11')due to walkways.so as a result my floor standing speakers (axiom audio m60)don't have enough room and look huge.I would like to get some monitors on stands. They need to be easy to place i.e. close to walls have good bass say down to about 40hz. I don't have room for a sub any more either. I listen mostly to classic rock and rock and I am getting into some acoustic folk.My budget is around $2000.

You might consider a slender floorstanding speaker. The Focal 816v retails for $2,000 and is very impressive. It really takes up the same amount of space as the bookshelf speakers in the series since the base on the stands is almost identical to what the floorstanders have.

I just looked up your speakers and there might not be much difference.

The Focal 807v speakers are fairly impressive and retail fro $1,425 I believe. If you're in the Seattle area I can point you to a store that has a sale going right now.

If your intention is to put the monitors on stands you won't gain much real estate. A couple of inches depth wise is all you'll get. Stick with small floorstand speakers.

Dynaudio DM 2/8 or 2/10. The 2/10 has great bass due to the 9.5" woofer, easily hits 40Hz in a medium sized room. Both models are a great buy for the money.

Go with a set of Small Infinity SM speakers.
Or go with Klipsh.
