Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K

SAF issue requires an elegant floor stander with a small footprint (narrow and deep is good). 2-way or 3-way okay. Room is 15d x 30w x 10h. SimAudio Moon 600i has enough power to drive pretty much anything well. Don't suggest a KEF Blade. That won't fly.

My music tastes run all over the place but I do favor impeccable vocals, cellos and trombones, and bass that is clearly musical though not necessarily earth-moving. That being said Led Zeppelin and orchestral music have to have impact.

Your thoughts, AudioGon-ers? Thank you in advance

A lot of good suggestions, just one to add, Daedalus Audio Athena. They look wonderful, being made from solid hardwood, not veneered and sound wonderful. Sold direct from the manufacturer, they are great value too.

Genesis 7.1F or 7.2F (floorstanders).
Elegant both in appearance and sound.

I like the ProAc D40 mentioned above too. I don't know about specific models, but I have also like J.M Reynaud speakers (the ones I heard did NOT fit the floorstanding, narrow profile requirement). I would also add to the list of contenders the YG Carmel (a little out of the price range but very good) and the Neat Momentum LX-6. While the Audionote AN-E also does not fit the narrow profile requirement, it is a speaker designed so it can fit close to the corners of the room so it can be unobtrusive as well. The Gradient Revolution is a reasonably compact system that can be placed very close to the wall/corners (VERY flexible in the way it can be used). I don't know if any Gershman model fits the price point or has the right profile (they are odd looking speakers), but they do deliver good sound.

Good luck on the search.
