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!

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.

$1000 will not obtain the prescribed result if the room is wrong. $10000 might, if you spend it on fancy equalizers and the like.

Tell us about the room and the answers will become relevant.

Asking someone else to choose your speakers is akin to asking someone to name your child. Believe me, I've been there/done that. It didn't turn out well !!!!!!
