Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr.


Lately, I've been craving deeper, tighter bass. I'd like to hear some ideas for replacing my Silverline 17.5 monitors. Is this a stupid question, due to inherent limitations of driver size imposed by typical bookshelf dimensions, or might I actually do better with another speaker? Amplification is Wells Audio 150 watt SS Majestic integrated. Source is aging Jolida JD100 tubed cdp (in new year, I plan to replace this with another SS cdp or a transport/standalone dac combo). Thanks !

There are so many really amazing bookshelf speakers e.g. Kef, BW and so on.  I would try to listen to the newer Elac bookshelf speakers designed by Andrew Jones.  You could save the extra money for a subwoofer (again, so many great designs) to take care of those frequencies that you can really feel.  Again, check out Elacs sub offeringa as they are so cost-effective.
Lastly, matching your amp to the speakers is critical and there isn't a better method than listening to the setup.  If you can find the right dealer they will accommodate you.  When I purchased my last speakers I carried my (heavy) tube amp to two dealers who wired it up for me to really get the sound I was listening for.  Take your time...  and enjoy!
