How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...?

@ d2girls
My front L/R speakers are Legacy Audio Signature II from the 1990s. 

I'm using a PS Audio Stellar Gain Pre/DAC into a Krell FPB 400cx power amp.  With regard to subs, I've heard smaller speakers than mine produce more of the impact that I'm looking for.  Perhaps it's just that my speakers are so old.  Actually, the amp is old too!  My equipment is like me!

I'm not looking for ear buds or ear phones.  Looking for speakers with that nice bassy sound and impact I get with the ear buds.  I only use the ear buds when I'm working out. 

Oh, they go deep.  It's just the initial "hit" or attack of a kick drum, and the like, that I am questioning.  The Signature IIs are sealed, not ported, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.  They also have the old poly mid drivers and bass woofers, which I assume are not as fast as modern drivers.

You seem to assume that I am an idiot.  Yes, I played the phone to the AVR that is in the system just to check that out, but I also played the actual CD in the Oppo, which is connected via digital coaxial cable to the PS Audio, which is connected via XLR cables to the Krell, with the same overall sound resulting. 

And I don't appreciate the snide remarks either.  Just because I started a few threads doesn't make me any sort of expert, hence my question.  I hope other people who ask honest questions here don't get the same treatment.

@ glupson
Thanks for the thoughts on speakers vs ear phones.  Yes, they are obviously quite different animals.  But I have heard some speakers that to some extent replicate the sort of bass attack that I am talking about.  Hence my request for suggestions for such speakers. 

@ seasdiamond
That makes perfect sense.  Except for the fact that I have heard some speakers that are not all that big which do give a lot of slam without subs.  Maybe those are not flat speakers, but rather, boosted in the lower mid bass.   Maybe the dealer surreptitiously applied some bass boost to the signal.  Who knows?   I'll keep listening. 

@ m-db
Thanks.  Well, that's the problem, i.e., my recollection of having heard such speakers goes back over a long time period, even decades, so I'm not actually sure which speakers they were!  Hence my request for speaker suggestions. 

@kalali
Thanks for the tip.  The problem is that this is in my family room and the speakers can really only sit just about where they now are, due to furniture and door opening constraints.  As to room treatments, not much of that sort of thing is going to fly on the domestic front.  So, I have to look at the sound that various speakers make in this room, and possibly room correction software.  I just want that attack and bit of slam on the kick drum and other bass transients.

At this point, I'm thinking that speakers with at least 8" woofers may be the place to focus my research and listening on.
