Speakers with max of 32" high


I recently moved in with my girlfriend and had to downsize my system significantly. I sold off or am in the process of selling everything (i am going to miss my Unifield 3s and xa60.8s!).

My new living space has my plasma on a wall and leaves me with the space in front of it and below it for speakers. because of width constraints, I can't really go any higher than the tv height off the floor - this leaves me with a max height for my speakers of about 32-33 inches.

What are my best options for this? I'll take suggestions in any price range.

I know the Zu Soul is the right height, but I have zero experience with Zu speakers. Are there other floorstanders that are this short?

Thanks

I have a really good candidate: The Neat Acoustics Motive SX2. I've heard these and they have a natural, linear, organic sound. They are about 30.1” tall and are mounted on plinths that tilt them backwards slightly to compensate for their short height. Footprint is a dainty 6-1/3” x 8”. They were very impressive, with more bass extension than you would expect from such a compact size.
I've heard the Gallo Classicos and the Neats I recommended above. Under the listening conditions of the two audio stores (just across the street from each other), the Neats had the far more natural sounding tonal balance and soundstage, and didn't seem to have special requirements to come alive. I'd go with the Neats. They were natural and fuss-free.
