Best High Efficiency Speakers for full bass tone

Any thoughts on a pair of high efficiency speakers to use with vintage tube amp/analog set up/ in a room that is 32' deep by 20' wide to get full bass tone?

Right now I have a pair of Klipsch Forte II that just don't deliver on the low end as well as they do in a smaller room.
Smaller room they sound fantastic.

What really works in these bigger rooms? Looking for something with better bass detail than a pair of extra subs rumbling 60 hz and under.

Hartley 24" in Jensen imperial cabinet should do it! Actually, a 15" in the imperial would likely crack your foundation. Check the decware site.
Working on the same issue myself and I wish I had the space for these.
Best,
Doug

I had a pair of Belle La Scala's and while they were loud, they really lacked detail.

Yeah, in a room that size I would agree with most here that you will need horns. K-horns are great, or you could go with some Altec A7's, or one of the newer types like the Avantgardes, etc., though those will set you back quite a bit more. Properly set up, you should have plenty of bass with any of them.

Zu Defintion 4s. My (overall) space is larger than yours. The bass is deep, tight, defined, and palpable.
