Speaker Art / Soundfield speakers
Yes not too many owners of these speakers in fact I only know of two other members who have them. Speaker Art was pretty much a one man operation and he didn't follow the typical audio business model of paying for adverts in the audio rags. Had he...

Bob Gross is the proprieter of Speaker Art is semi-retired from building speakers full time but will most likely build you a pair if you want. In fact ask him about the latest version of the Clef with the ribbon tweeter. I have a pair of Super Cle... 
Bookshelf speakers for $500ish
There is a pair of Triangle Titus Ex on another audio site that are near your budget. I bet they would make a good match for your Marantz, they are front ported and fairly easy to drive. 
Life after ADS
Rmenergy....I have a pair of the original Clefs with the metal tweeter as well. I had been looking for a speaker in my smallish room and was afraid the Clefs would overload the room. Well I put them in to see how it would go and I have to say it s...

@Jmcgrogan2 You are exactly right. 
Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass
I agree johnny when and only when they are set up to properly vandersteens sound great but off axis not so much. Kinda like the clues they need to be set up properly or they won't measure well either.

Audioconnection you were careful to choose the word "most" instead of "all" which would make your statement about mini box speakers untrue. Thank you for making my point about speaking in absolutes. 
Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass
As we all know there are no absolutes here and to me that is the only thing that is common sense. To say that an active speaker can't compete with a passive with a separate amp in the same price range is nonsense and border line dillusional. The s...

curious to know what actives you have auditoned zd 
Marantz PM 17SA v PM 8003
Why not see if the seller is willing to bring the amp over so you can make a quick comparison assuming its for sale locally. This would take the speculation out of the equation. Hell give them a couple bucks for gas if need be. To sit here and gue...

"I think a floor standing speaker would be a much better way to go. See if you can audition a pair of Tekton Enzo xl's. They're very easy to drive and the bass is in a different league than what you have now. If for some reason, you don't like the...
