Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s

I'm hoping someone has done some of the work for me. I've upgraded everything else and now I'm back trying to improve on my Harbeth 30.1s. The issue is space. I need either another stand mount or a small floor stander with a similar footprint because of my listening space. I'm 8 feet from the speakers, so it's near field listening. I'm generally happy with the Harbeths but I'm hoping to squeeze out some extra dynamics and bass without sacrificing tonality. Especially interested in anyone that has done listening tests with the 30.1 vs other speakers.

Look at the Reynaud Bliss Jubilee.

Perhaps I got this wrong.  OP is asking for more dynamics and increased bass, so he's sent by some to a speaker with a woofer almost half the size of his current one obviously contained in a smaller volume sealed box.  Humm?

I would look at an active monitor or small footprint floor stander.  No more real estate required and certainly more dynamics plus more controlled bass.  PCM, ATC, Focal.  You get the drift.

Yeah, I tried a ATC SCM 20s at our old place and loved them but I can't get power to where the speakers are. The listening space is great but has limitations.
