Need advice for full range speaker with bottom end

Hi,

My current set up is Innersound Eros MKI with
Antique Sound Lab 1006 845 amp and cary slp98 pre. Altogether a pretty satisfying setup for beautify mids and highs.

I do notice and miss the bottom end on some music. So I'm interested in setting up a second system with some of the other parts I've already have lying around. I have a pair of Nuforce 8's and a Benchmark Dac. Given the Benchmark has volume control, I figure I can skip the preamp and go with just adding a pair of speakers. I will source this system with my computer and the Squeezbox 3 to the DAC.

I'm hoping to find a pair of full range speaker that can give me what I'm missing and still resemble some of the mids and highs I get out of my innersound panels.

My hope is to keep things sane within the $2-4K range...hopefully closer to 2k than 4K. I plan to be buying use to keep cost down.

Anyone know of some good bargins for full range speakers that can hit close to 20hz?

I had tried in the past with the monitor & sub combo and I'm not sure if it is room interaction or what, but I was never able to melt the sound together between the Sub and speaker. Granted, I only got a $600 sub to start and it didn't fit that well with the rest of my setup.

I'm hoping to leave the melting of the lower range to the speaker builders and leverage their expertise.

I really learned alot from everyone who contributed on this thread. I've been won over to search for a VMP speaker. It really looks like my cup of tea at this point.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ADVICE!!!!

If you can get a set of nice Yamaha NS-1000 or NS-1000M's, I doubt you'll be dissatisfied with any part of the sound spectrum. As I said, very little programme material goes below the range of this speaker (40Hz).

You may want to check into one of Rick Reimers speakers. The Wind Rivers or Tetons would get you the deep tight bass you are looking for and will work well with your 25 watts SET. I am using 18 watt SET with the Teton's and have plenty of power to spare.

The Onix Mini Strata with 2 8 inch powered subs with 2 350 watt class A/B amps,a 5 1/4 inch midbss coupler rated down to 27 htz with a planer midrange and tweeter,and oh so sweatly intergrated for top to bottom cohesion all for $1995 the best deal in highend audio today in my opinion.
