Totems

How about some Arro or Sttaf? They have a similar footprint t0 monitors on a stand and provide better bass. I think the Sttaf might be a great option as they are generally available used for not much more than the Arro and they are somewhat easier to drive.

What type of amplification will you be using?

H/K 3470 I also have a vintage NAD7175pe. Thanks for the info re Arro and Staff I hadn't consider these as options.

I would second the Arro recommendation, perhaps supplemented by a smaller sub such as the Hsu vtf-1 or REL T-3. The Arros takes up very little floor space and are hard to beat at their used price of ~$600-700. Best of luck!

I have 2 pairs of Arro and a pair of Sttaf. I love the Arro, but the Sttaf do provide more bass and are richer in sound. They are not as common as the Arro but they are worth looking for. They are just an inch or two bigger than the Arro, but the sound improvement is significant.

Note that they are Sttaf not Staff. Took me a long time to learn to type that. Totem has some strange names, but I love the sound.
