Help choosing speakers


Hi!

Can someone recommend a good pair of floorstanding speakers under $1000 with bass that extends low enough to eliminate the need for a sub. All the reviews I read about speakers in this price range have the same complaints: "lacks in the lower frequencies" or "bass doesn't extend low enough"...

thanks!

Used Thiel 3.5's, so long as you use it for music, as opposed to home theatre sound effects. They will go low, but not low and really loud.
Monitor Audio RS6. More than enough bass and a well reviewed speaker as well. You can find them here used for <$600.
They have a very nice finish to them as well.
used Paradigm 80's or 100's would be a good choice. $1300 would get you some Legacy Audio classics!!
not a huge fan of monitor audio...they sound a bit lean and hollow to me...if dont want a sub...vandersteen 1 would be a.good.choice..
