Help choosing speakers


Hi!

Can someone recommend a good pair of floorstanding speakers under $1000 with bass that extends low enough to eliminate the need for a sub. All the reviews I read about speakers in this price range have the same complaints: "lacks in the lower frequencies" or "bass doesn't extend low enough"...

thanks!

Asking someone else to choose your speakers is akin to asking someone to name your child. Believe me, I've been there/done that. It didn't turn out well !!!!!!
Thanks for your suggestions! they're much appreciated.

My amp ATM is a Cambridge Audio 640A V2. I'm kind of used to its sound but I'm not at all impressed by it. I plan on changing for something in the sub 1K as well.

The room will be either a small approx 10' x 14' or a larger x2 more open space room.

@ Tpreaves I don't see what's wrong with asking for advice. I'm just trying to narrow it down as i can't listen to all of them.
I don't think a 10 X 14 room can accomodate true full range bass. The aforementioned Thiel 3.5's can adjust between a bottom end of either 20 Hz or 40 Hz, so they could probably work in either room. The Thiel 3.5's can be had used for less than $1K, which is good, because you'll probably need the extra money to go towards an appropriate amp that can really make them sing.
Snell CV and Type D will do the trick. I have had them both and depending on condition will run $500 - $1000 used.
Good luck
