Speaker suggestions – Possible Magnepan 3.6R or Dunlavy SC-IV
I second the 1.7i, paired with a good sub you will have great sound. You should be able to find a nice used pair in the $1300 to $1600 range. 
Dude, where's my bass? Oh, lost to stiffened rubber surrounds...who knew?
I've had several friends get speaker surrounds fixed they will sound good as new once broken in.It maybe a good time to check crossover components too .

Magnepan 3.7i
Hey don_1 don’t be a jerk I can read the speaker size but am asking for the box size , i guess you can’t read and don’t like helping others. When I talked to the Maggie sales rep he didn’t even know the box size. 
Magneplanar .7 speakers. Have you heard or own them??
I know I'm late but you can't go wrong with magnepan 1.7 my room is 12 x 15 and they really sing. I was using emotiva 1L but they did not get along with the speakers multiple failures occurred finally went with the Parasound 2.1 and couldn't be ha...
