Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass


Looking for the bookshelf speakers with the decent bass that would sound nice in 17'x 12' room. Listening preference:
Smooth/Uptempo Jazz; Acoustic Jazz and Ambiental music.
So far I am using Focal 807W Speakers and the NAD C356DAC.
Good sound, just missing "that" lover bass (hate sub woofers).
I really like how NAD sounds, especially after I replaced the
stock Pre/Amp jumpers. Nice open highs.
Or, should I try Floor standing speakers. Thank you in advance
on yours opinions.

What you have would seem to be pretty good on paper in regards to bass for a room that size.

What aspects of bass are you looking to improve? Low end extension and/or quantity? Quality/detail articulation? Or maybe all of teh above?

Or another way to ask it is have you heard a system anywhere that has the sound you want? If so what was the setup that did it?

Its much easier to hit a target if one knows exactly what the target is. "decent/better" bass alone is not much to go on.

Thanks.
The logical choice then to extend teh low end yet retain the would seem to be larger Focals in the same line.

The other affordable Focal line I have heard and like a lot is the Profile line. Check the specs, measurements reviews of particular models to identify the larger ones, most likely two larger floor standers rather than the smaller monitors, with more low end extension.
