Poor man's Rockport Atrias?


I recently auditioned the Rockport Atrias and liked them alot. They seemed to do everything well including drawing me into the music. I also love their size which is small enough to fit into my narrow room. While I am willing to spend $20K on speakers I would of course prefer to spend less even if it means giving up some performance. Therefore, I am wondering if people have suggestions for other speakers I should consider auditioning that has similar qualities to the Rockports while also being a small floorstander.

Thank you.

As a non-interested party, I have to say Soix's post was a breath of fresh air. Not much to add except save up as needed and do it before you kick yourself for not.
Thanks guys. I figure at this price point I need to do my due diligence as much I would just love to buy the Atrias right now and start enjoying them. I should have known that I could not depend on this crew to be the voice the reason! :)
Crowdfunding...not this crowd...but still...plead your case in a blog someplace and the money will roll, trickle, or perhaps not at all, flood in.
