Good Bass Floorstander under 1K

Hey. There is a pair of Usher CP-730s demo pair for 850 in the listings. I heard all the Usher stuff at CES but I dont recall this model specifically. It does list extension to 34 HZ. Maybe that would be a decent consideration.

Thanks for the responses. I've considered the Golds. I have Image 4T's in a home theatre and love'em for the price. The 2 pair available are for pick up and even though I'm in an adjacent state are still quite far away.They would be hard to sell since the original boxes are not available.

The Sols are interesting. I've long appreciated their reputation for being an all around performer. My speaker would have to be maybe only 2 feet from the back wall so I'm concerned about rear ports or passive radiators in the case of the Vandies. But my loft style house with 24 foot ceilings may be able to absorb the extra bass though.

Are the Usher's rear ported?

Rysa4, I'm reconsidering the Rockets. The rosewood is not to bad. Do you recommend them?

The Sols are rear ported as well, but 2 feet is just fine in my experince. Man, I wish I had 24 foot ceilings.

Well....

I'm going with Tyler custom F2 floorstanders that came available tonight on Audiogon. They have a few things I really like.
Natural Cherry will match house interior.
Front port is covered by the grill.
Not too big.
Great company with great rep.Have wanted to own a Tyler.
Better bass than my previous monitor.
Priced very well.

Thanks for all the great advice guys!

Very nice looking and definitely a great reputation. But I thought you were after great bass performance...I guess I read that as going down real low and holding it together. The F2's are only rated down to 44hz...do the floorstanding enclosures improve on that that much?
