Image/soundstage and punch/bass

Are there speakers out there (new or used) in the $2,500 price range that have the image and soundstage of Magnepan (my current set up is MG12s) but the punch and bass for rock/hip hop type music?

Yea with a powerful amp & smallish room I would say a gently used pair of Dynaudio Special 40's..

Why not add a sub and you'll have it all.

I agree with johnto...Consider 2 subs.

Then obsess and make it a science project.

Seriously, place a couple of subs behind the maggie's and "have it all" as mentioned. 

Or, get lost in audio nervosa  and follow a thread like the one linked.

Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Magnetic-planar drivers (similar to those in the smaller Magnepans, but push-pull rather than single-ended, and in a metal frame rather than glued to MDF) from 180Hz up, a sealed enclosure 8" woofer for 180Hz down. They play louder than the smaller Maggies, and extend lower in frequency. $2499/pr, home audition available for those without a dealer within 150 miles of home.
