SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.?

Greetings audiophile fans,
I am in a challenging dilemma with SPEAKER selection and need a advice.. Budget 4K and less!!
Currently my setup consists ps audio pair mono amps, Jew Rowland pre and Oracle Delphi turntable..
I am mostly listening records (Jazz, folk....) I honestly prefer not to use sub due to space but prefer ful size tower SPEAKERS with enough bass to satisfy my need.. “IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT BASS” 
Soooo what have you heard and recommend for me??
Thanks and happy listening....
Cheers

@shinemaster I too am big on bass and I also looked for speakers that are full range. I never like the idea of a sub-amp for space reasons and I found the upgraded Tekton DI's 
to be more than enough bass. No sub needed. They were #3200 shipped but the price might me slightly more now.
Good luck,
Greg

mental,

"A decent two channel set up does not require sub...lulz"

That's not entirely correct. While many speakers may not need the bottom octave support of a sub per se, ANY system will benefit from a sub (or two) as it will relieve the main amp of having to produce low frequencies thus lowering distortion. This will greatly enhance the mid and high resolution of the speakers.

Golden Ear Triton 2+.  Plenty of high quality bass. $3500 brand new.

Get yourself two, not one, SVS SB2000 subwoofers for about $1400. Down to 19 Hz.

This solve ALL of your bass issues, regardless of your mains.

Well, I'm with you about big full range speakers, as I don't have a lot of room for subs and I'm just a sucker for them.  The Revel F208 towers are said to have quite strong bass.  Used sets of them have been going for ~$3,500.  Also, it will be hard to beat the excellent condition set of Legacy Audio Signature SE on US Audio Mart for $4.5K.  Those babies are rated -2dB at 22Hz!
