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.

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! :)

Sounds to me like you need an AA sponsor (Audiophile Anonymous).

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.

Thoooe, good luck on your quest! If you do find a speaker that gives you 90% of the Atria at $10k let me know since I'm also very interested in the Atria. At that price point and below there are a lot of offerings. I like the idea of supporting a USA manufacture where you don't pay a penalty for currency differences and the importers mark up. Of course the Rockports are top notch relative to their design and and component selection....but they are expensive (at least in my world, yikes I haven't told my wife yet that I'm considering them, I better get that seed planted).
