Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound?


I’m trying to identify a bookshelf (monitor) speaker that will give a big, full sound. Budget up to $2,000

These will be located in a larger living room. For aesthetic reasons I’m pursing bookshelf speakers. Currently these would be mated with Rega electronics, and someday I may move back to tube-based equipment.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

Sonus faber and they look alot better than my gma europas! Brit speakers due the big sound thing very well quad spendor proac b&w 805~705
If you can find a used pair of the original Red Rose ribbon monitor (ribbon tweeter extends above the cabinet), it gets my vote for this competition. Not the most purely neutral speaker ever manufactured, but BIIIG sound from a little box.

I second the Lenehan ML1 suggestion. I use these in a large room. They are extremely lively and transparent without ever being bright or harsh. I find them effortless and composed in their presentation. Workmanship on these from crossover to cabinet is first rate. You really get a lot for your money.
