Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used


I generally understand monitor speakers with small woofers cannot generate deep bass. But would like some input as to whether there are some monitors "used" for $400-500 with tight bass between 40-45HZ.

Zydo, I am sorry but the PSB Alpha 1 reviews are not convincing to me; they have little bass. In addition, I would use them occasionally as an alternative to my main system speakers, but they would be plugged into major electronics and not a NAD integrated.

At your stated budget, the more upmarket PSB Image B6 is more appropriate, with wider dynamics and deeper bass extension. There are rave reviews everywhere including this one from Stereophile. The measurements indicate a -5dB point at 40 Hz.

Or look for a used pair of Dynaudios at your budget. They're well known for good bass extension from a small monitor.
