See if you can find an old pair of Genesis Physics speakers in good shape. These are NOT the "Genesis" speakers designed by Arnie Nudell. Any of the following models are capable of potent bass response with clean mids and nice sounding treble. They will embarass many "audiophile" type speakers that cost quite a bit of cash. They are NOT designed to tear the roof off of a building in terms of spl's, but they will play loud enough for most folks.
2+ aka II+, 20, 22, 3 aka III, 3+ aka III+, 33, 44, etc... I do not recommend the original "2", only the 2+. Any of the 2 or 3 series mentioned will work well directly on the floor, but you may find that they benefit from being slightly elevated up off the floor just a tad. This tends to reduce the bass slightly, which may be a bit potent for in some environments and is a matter of personal preferences.
You can read more about these speakers at Human Speakers. I know of a shop that has a pair of 2+'s and is selling them for $150. For that kind of money, they are untouchable. I don't know if they will ship or not, but if you're interested, drop me an email. Sean
