Any cheap but good speakers with bass?

Go to www.stereophile.com and read their review of the PSB Image 4T. In their words "The Image 4T's bass performance was uncanny." I own a set and have to agree. In B-Stock they are available for $400/pair at www.upscaleaudio.com.

You might - just might - be able to find a used pair of NHT 2.5is close to your price range; typically they go for maybe around $650? All the bass you could want, and the rest of the sound is pretty good, too.

I also believe that NHT is closing out (or updating) the current "Super" series, and there are ads for the Super-Two for $500/pair.

I'll second Dodlb's recommendation of the PSB Image series. I just bought a pair of Stratus Bronze (their top series) about six months ago but in the process I did give the Image speakers a good listen. In terms of bass, they're simply awesome at their price. The Stratus series topped them in terms of treble, mids and soundstage, but I don't think you can find the Bronze for less than $500. PSB speakers are great for the price and have bass in spades!

I have a pair of Mirage 1090i Speakers, there about5 yrs old and they have very nice Bass. New they want to for $1200.00 but I'm sure you can find some used for 500ish.

I know this is going to sound like heresy on a site like this one, but if you want some real bass, but are willing to sacrifice a bit of finesse, then take a look at the following site's listing for AR speakers.

Some of the $900 AR floor-standing speakers are discounted to about $400. When you don't have a lot of bucks to spend, but want reasonably full-range sound, you'll have to make some compromises. And before anyone bashes AR, take note that their current speaker line has received some pretty favorable reviews. At the prices listed on "Accessories4less", you want do much better on a pure dollar basis.
