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 Paradigm 80's or 100's would be a good choice. $1300 would get you some Legacy Audio classics!!

I second the Vandersteen 1b or c...I had a new pair of 1Bs years ago (sold after having the factory repair some cat damage) and was amazed at how deep they went...just a great clean sounding speaker and you can find 'em used in good shape with stands for cheap.
