Neat isobaric (Momentum, Ultimatum) bookshelf speakers have excellent bass for the size. Both can be found used for under 4k. ProAc Response floor standing models also have very solid bass and they sound great with the Wells Majestic. The footprint is no larger than a good bookshelf speaker stand.
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 !
