Replacement for Vandersteen 2C

Friends,

I need to replace my current Vandersteen 2C speakers. I have a smallish room 14' X 10' with the system against the shorter wall. I'm beginning to think the vandy's are a bit too big for the space. Need recommendations on smaller speakers with frequency response similar to that of 2C. I usually listen to Jazz and soft rock. My price range is $1K. Any suggestions?

Best Regards

Thank you all very much for your valuable suggestions, I don't have any problem with bass from the Vandys, It's just that the soundstage seems a bit cluttered.

Audioconnection, the speakers are about 2.5' from the side walls. So the effective separation between the speakers (measured from tweeter to tweeter) is about 6', and they are about 2.2' from the rear wall, no toe-in. I tried toe'ing them in, but the soundstage gets messed up.

Zargon, can't use the long walls, as one site has a patio door and a glass window and the other side has the enterance to the room and a closet.
