best bookshelf speakers for < $2000?


I have Studio-20 V5s on stands right now for my living room 2.0 music system and, while I like the sound, I need more bass extension.
I don't want to add a sub due to room clutter concerns.   So, I am looking fro an upgrade from my Studio20s.
I have been looking into towers but now am thinking, why not stay with sand-mounted speaker since I have the stands already.   This is for 2ch music only.  My amp is Emotiva UPA-2 SS amp.

Would I do better to go towers or go higher-end bookshelf speakers?


The towers I've been looking at have been 
Salk SongBirds/Towers
Ascend Sierra Tower
Silverline Prelude Plus

Thx.

Speakers on shelf are those kinds of devices that can transform audio into memorable moments. If we talk about the big brands then such sound system very expensive for us. Don’t worry about it. There are other companies which offer quality Bookshelf speakers with 2 years and 1 years Warranty. Yes, I like to share the names of the top 5 Bookshelf speakers with little bit detail as well.

1) Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers: These speakers actually contain a 4-inch bass driver, best calibrated flared bass reflex port which helps the sound of lower frequencies developed by the woofer and subwoofer. These features also have automatic volume features and more Good balance between bass and trebles, Exquisite sound and Great build quality but at the same time these features have some cons. as well which are Can’t use a universal remote with it, Manual volume knob is confusing and Remote needs a power button.

2) Polk T Series T15 Bookshelf Speakers: If we talk about the loudspeaker then Polk is a well-known company in this industry. At initial point, they like to use Monitor Series for design affordable bookshelf speakers. If you connect amplifier then these speakers work as a desktop speaker as well.
Features of these Bookshelf speakers are Super-clear sound, Excellent for rear 5.1 Surround and Great for movies and TV. If we talk about cons. then these speakers Needs an amplifier to work with PC, Not balanced and Not for professional work.

3) Mackie CR3 Multimedia Monitors: The Mackie CR3 bookshelf speakers are designed with the professional component. For the correct placement of sound, on the back, there is a switch which helps to know which side of the desk is the active speaker.
Features of these speakers are Great for recording demos, Clarity even at lower volumes and Various inputs/outputs alternatives.
Cons: These speakers have No remote controller, No protective grid and Questionable durability.
Good luck to those who want to buy speakers on the shelf and i fully hope this information will help to select the best speakers which will be within your budget.
