Shorter good quality towers is probably a decent option like monitors, as long as tweets are lower.
I would often suggest someone having brightness issues and willing to try something completely different consider Ohm Walsh speakers, which tend to be more laid back and seldom ever exhibit brightness. The maker voices them to sound like what he hears in his favorite seats at Carnegie Hall and having heard both, I’d say he does a good job of that. A pair of microwalsh speakers would be a relatively low cost experiment and the liberal in house audition period and return policy would help. I think the smaller models would meet the height requirements for your case. Just having a discussion with John Strohbeen at Ohm about your specific room might be insightful. He tends to have a great focus of getting the right speakers into each person's unique room.
Here are the stands I use with my small monitors in my wife’s acoustically challenged sun-room:

Low, inexpensive and very effective. Can be tilted upwards slightly if needed. Just make sure you get the right size for any particular monitor.
Also an amp may be up to the task of driving harder load speakers, but they will still distort less and perform their best with an easy load, which puts you in the best place you can be to help take that factor out of things. That’s typically where the Fritz excel.
