+1 on axpert’s recommendation to add subwoofers if your listening includes any serious bass components.  I have floorstanding Fyne F702 speakers that use an 8” woofer, and they are definitely a bit shy on the deep bass.  I added a pair of Rythmik F12 subs, and the result was simply astounding.  I don’t know exactly how to describe it, but the entire lower register, not just the deep bass (I have the fixed filter set at 50 hz), seems “more alive, more organic.”  When the music includes bass, it’s there, tight and solid, never flabby or hanging on if not intended.  The Rythmiks are made here in the U.S., although I suspect the amps are made overseas.  They have “filled a hole” in my listening pleasure, which is really what it is all about.

I am still using, in a second system, a pair of Infinity Modulus satellites I purchased in 1992, with the original, very heavy Infinity stands.  These stand-mount speakers were used with the Infinity Servo-Subwoofer for many years, although it is no longer operating and I now use a Definitive Technology Supercube 6000 with them.  The mid-range/“woofer” is, I believe, 5 & 1/4 inches in diameter and there is an Infinity EMIT-k tweeter.  They still provide excellent close-field sound for my office. Their $1,300 retail price when introduced in 1990 would be about $3,150 today.

 

also, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I had a pair of quite small ADS300 speakers that were absolutely stunning for their size.  In a darkened room, you would conclude that a much larger speaker was reproducing the music.
