Best Rock, Blues, Jazz speaker under $1,500.

Hello all! I would like to tap some of the vast knowledge & experience you folks have in my quest for new speakers. I will be using it for 85% music, and have a NAD 317 integrated amp @ 80w per. I am one of those goofballs that likes a bit of extra bass response. Not shaking the house with dance/rap music. Just like to feel the bass drum or guitar. I have a pair of DCM TF 600's that are starting to show some age, and now have more space in our new house for bigger speakers. Any thoughts? I am not against getting speakers that may need more amp down the road. I am also not opposed to a sub, but have never had one, and would like to get speakers that can go to 30k or even lower.
THANKS EVERYONE!
Tony

Audition some Vandersteen 2ce's if you get a chance, plenty of room filling bass I believe down to 28hZ before slow roll off. Well within your budget. I suggest buying used here on Audiogon and save yourself a few hundred dollars. Lot of speaker for the money.

I second Shoe's recommendation. I would also consider the 3A's, as a good used pair fall in your range. I think you will find they are a great speaker with a little more punch than the 2ce's.

Thanks, folks! I just found a pair of "b-stock" Soliloquys here from Quest for Sound. Heck of a deal. Steven is a really nice guy, so if anyone is in the market for Soliloquys, they have some great deals going.
