modest towers with high WAF for living room?

Looking for opinions on this one. I've been running with Paradigm Studio-20s (V5) for over a year and want to upgrade. This is for our living room, 100% 2ch music. The Studios have been a nice intro into quality speakers. Now, I'm looking for something with a bit more bass presence plus, I want to get away from speaker stands.
My living room is large, 14X24', but we tend to listen at low-mid levels ... jazz, blues, classical, folk, some rock. I don't blast or need "wall thumpers".

I really want these to be nice, attractive, to get buy-in from the wife! ; )

Budget? Well < $2K preferrably, $2500 max.

My priorities: high WAF, sonic upgrade from the Studio20s, modest size ... don't want them to dominate the room.

Upscale Audio in SoCal has new (but discontinued) Opera Secondas listed at $2K on the "specials" section of their website. These are sorta Sonus Faber wannabes, and I doubt you'll score higher on the WAF side of the equation at $2K.

OTOH, I can't really speak to how they sound. The brand has a decent rep in general, but I've never heard this particular model.

Good Luck,

Marty
