Suggestions short 3' tall floorstander?

How far away from the wall will you be placing these speakers? Front / rear port on the speakers could be a significant factor.

If you can drive a 4ohm load, the Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grands are 37" tall, and really nice speakers. Very musical.

I would take a look at Tekton Designs speakers. A whole lot of bang for the buck. For that price point(or a lot less), Mr. Alexander makes some fine products.

No interest at all, other than a very satisfied customer. He's a nice guy to deal with to boot...

Happy Listening

Spendor has some highly regarded relatively short floorstanders such as the 5e and 8e you might want to check out.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. A couple of quick comments:

a) spending less? they should revoke your Audiogon account! ;-)

b) the acoustically transparent screen suggestion is cool, but won't work in my environment. Such a screen would need to be 2-3 feet into the room and I am dealing with a room in the main living area of my home, not a dedicated home theater.

c) my speakers are 12-15 inches off the rear wall. I *might* be able to go to 2 ft if necessary.

d) I drive the speakers with a Sherbourn 5/1500a. A "five monoblocks in one chassis" design, similar to some Bryston amps. Rated for 200 wpc in 8 ohms and 300 into 4 ohms.
