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 don't think a 10 X 14 room can accomodate true full range bass. The aforementioned Thiel 3.5's can adjust between a bottom end of either 20 Hz or 40 Hz, so they could probably work in either room. The Thiel 3.5's can be had used for less than $1K, which is good, because you'll probably need the extra money to go towards an appropriate amp that can really make them sing.
Snell CV and Type D will do the trick. I have had them both and depending on condition will run $500 - $1000 used.
Good luck
