Help I need some speaker suggestions

You might be able to find a used pair of Dunlavy III at this price point. I'm suggesting these because of their driver configuration. With this type of speaker that employs mids and woofers above and below a centralized tweeter, there is less power fall off, as you move away from them in distance (as compared to conventional speaker configuratons). This type of speaker configuration tends to sound "louder", than a similarly rated SPL speaker, that does not have multiple vertical drivers ,such as the Dunlavy Line.

There are other speakers lines that also use this type of configuration very successfully (such as the Montana line and JM, which are out or your price range). The point being, there are probably other vertical D'Appolito designs, which I have not thought of, for you to consider.

I have personally made a couple of DIY designs, with this particular vertical driver configuration, and they really tend to deliver the power. They also seem to require less driver and crossover dinking, in order to sound half decent. There's just something about the way that these vertical driver designs deliver power into a room (as compared to conventional designs).

If you really want serious bass power (at your price point), the only speakers I can think of that will do what you want are the NHT 3.3 and the Legacy Classics and the VMPS line (not sure which VMPS model though). Both the NHT and the Legacy have been listed on Audiogon for around $1500. The NHT's don't use as good as drivers as the Legacys, but the Legacys are not necessarily as together sounding as the NHT's. In my opinion, the Legacys offer the most air moving ability, for the buck, where the NHT's are one of the best attempts at getting decent, coherent sound, out of a design that uses average drivers and crossovers. Either seem to fit your description of what you are looking for.

Good Luck on your quest.

I agree completely with Lev335! Go for used B&W802 series III.
I usually tell perspective speaker buyers this:
80% of all classical music is mastered on B&W speakers. So if you are considering several speakers and one of them is a B&W, go for the B&W. This is because, unless you own a Cello Pallatte (new it was $25,000), your sound will probably more often sound like it was heard when recorded.

I'm with Ehider on this. Dunlavy stuff seems to fit the bill for what you're looking for. Alternatively, I use a pair of Snell C/V's, which are configured similar to the Dunlavy philosophy (in terms of physical layout of the drivers). They're pretty forward sounding, with little fatigue. I listen for many hours at a time, quite often. They go used typically around $1200. Good luck.

there is a pair of Snell type C5 for sale here for 600.00,there are great sounding dynamic speakers designed by kevin volkes ....who now is at revel and designed the F30.

I can agree with Ehider, the NHT 3.3's does rather fit your list. As an alternative, you can also get much of the quality and 1/3 the size and weight of the 3.3 with the 2.9 which has great dynamics and it loves power. You just can't give them enough. I have owned a pair of the beautiful mahogany finish 2.9's ( the 3.3's were out of the questions for my wife at the time, they are huge )and they are very musical and can still crank ( ROCK ). But since then I have moved up the ladder into a set of Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Se's and I no longer have that crave for that big fat move all the air you can bass because the quality is so good. A standard pair of Contour 1.3 MkII's can be had for about $1,500 used. But listen to everything you can and buy the one that sounds best. When trying to avoid fatigue in a speaker that may take a while. Do your best to be able to take home on a demo whenever you can. This will give you the whole story. Dale
