Speakers to match bottlehead paramour

Hello,

I am looking for a suggestion for speakers to go with the bottlehead paramour/foreplay combo. It is suggested to run 96db or above speakers.

My situation is such. I have 1000usd, but prefer to spend as little as possible. The room is around 20m2 (or 180ft2). This means the speakers need to be no bigger than 18inches tall (plus i am carrying them back to europe with me, so..). No floorstanding speakers or horns or anything like that. I primarily listen to rock (kraut/prog, drone, lofi indie, art, outrock), jazz (free, expressionistic, fusion, electronic), electronic (ambient, abstract, drone, avant gard, minimalistic), hiphop (leftfield, indie)... I would also like to use them while watching movies and the simpsons.

I only found two models fitting this.. Omega ts33 or klipsch RB-35. The rb-35 seams to have been discontinued this last month.

Thanks.

Well, my main thing was just looking for other brands or possiblities. I do listen to some bass heavy music true, some techno and hiphop with a bit of 808. But truthfully it is mostly laid back music. I very rarely listen to hard, thumping type music through speakers because I live in an apartment. I generally listen to that stuff with headphones or in the car, because there I can use the volume it requires to "truely rock". I have a solid state reference amp in my studio with event 20/20 monitors if i want to bang it, and that is rarely. I heard a pair of amphion helium2 which are smaller than a 8.5'' x 11'' piece of paper at 86db and 50hz with an opera m100plus and the bass was plenty for my situation. Perhaps some day Ill add a subwoofer be space nor budget permit at this time.

I am open to slightly bigger options if there are none for what I am looking for.

Thanks
