Low priced giant killers

Are there any small 2-ways? Can the Epos M5's do it or maybe something else in this price range (<$800). Some extension needed with some punch, big defined stage and a smooth top end including the detail. No peaks allowed. Not forward but also not recessed. Need a mate for my 90 watt Quicksilvers. Have heard the Proac 1sc years ago but I could not part with 2K for the little guys, great mids and smooth sweet detailed highs. Bass not too deep though. Technology must have moved on to almost get it all at under a G by now? Right?? ;)

Platinum Audio Solo's are quite fine, and you really get to enjoy the bass foundation in all your recordings. Because the company is gone, the used price is in the $600 range. Your 90 watt tube amps are going to be able to power these in their sleep, as I used 35 watts per channel in a twelve by fifteen foot room, and never felt restricted dynamics or extension, despite some Audiogon warnings that only mega-amps need apply.
There was something very special about the overall presentation that really could fool listeners into guessing their used price must be much higher.
