Full range speakers with small footprint?


I've decided to sell my Vandersteen 2Ce's because they are too big (or visually imposing) for my living room and my planned dedicated listening room is not going to happen very soon. Can anyone recommend a floor standing speaker with a smaller footprint that is capable of producing some bass? They would be driven by Quicksilver amps, 60 wpc.

Thanks for your ideas, Jeff.

Agree the Vandy's are kinda ugly and big...Try Tyler's System's or Seas Thor kit.
Aktchi, in fact , an hour ago I sent Buck there in Jackson Mississippi a note asking if he has time this weekend for a visit. I plan to bring along my Jadis Orch Refer/KT90's and Cayin 17. Buck has the Cayin 50 cdp and so we'll get a chance to hear how the 2 compare. I'm expecting both to be very close. The Cayin 50(SACD) has 3 tubes, my 17 has 2 per channel.
I won't bring my Thors as its too much trouble. But I will be listening closely to a few reference cds before I leave and try to lock that sound in memory. I really look forward to the Tyler's Signature, the W22 as woofer may give the extra bottom the Thors lack. But as I really only listen to classical, not sure if I need more lower fq's.
....tell you what I may try to bring the Thors along with me....heck why not.

"forth vote..." "fifth vote for merlin..." If this were a popularity contest your merlin would win, but its not. its about sound.
Aktchi, I had to cancel my visit to Mississippi to hear the Tyler's Systems, a 3 way, with seas W22/W17/T25. I just looked at a map and its just too far for my unemployed budget. The gas alone would be like 150. The same price is I had Ty ship me a pair just to test/review, ship at my cost of course.
Hopefully we can get some reviews of Tyler's line soon here on the gon. I do not want to do another review on my Thors as some may feel I'm pumping/hyping.
