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.

I think you should audition more speakers just to be sure. This is a significant investment. Magico, Wilson, Vivid, Sonus Faber and many others - just to be sure.

IMHO - the Magico S5 is a better speaker and the new Magico S3 might be a better foot print for your room - depending on your room size. I found the Rockport tweeter a tad bright after a while. YMMV.
