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

I love my Aerial 7T's. Fit right in your budget and work well in my 12 x 17 room
I have auditioned most of the speakers in this thread. I use Ayre gear and both analog and the Empirical Overdrive DAC with Mac Mini server that has the David Hynes power supply and other major upgrades.

I order for my tastes:
Vandy Quatro ct
Vandy Treo CT (I have the regular Treo's and will be upgrading soon)
Wilson Sophia 3 (used if you can afford them. They really blew me away as I never liked Wilson before. These were musical and did everything well)
Rockport
Magico S3
Proac D40R (the ribbon tweeter NOT the dome)

I just remembered one I forgot to list. The ProAc Future 1's. If you can find them, I would definitely check them out. If I didn't get my Vandersteen's, I would have probably have bought them for myself.
I never got to hear the Futuras. Always wanted to, but no one seemed to have them. I wonder how many they sold. I thought I saw a pair for sale on here a month ago.
The Salk Exotica 3's should be considered. They are an emotional speaker with tight base down to 20 Hz. Can chose any veneer. Hard to beat. Bob
