One more idea:
$600 will buy a pair of Magnepan MMGs
$1150 will buy a pair of SVS sealed subwoofers
$400 will buy a Velodyne SMS-1 subwoofer management system (it corrects the subwoofer response for room induced effects, fine tune the top end roll-off of the subs, low cut the mains). It takes work, but this thing will allow a seamless "hand-off" from the MMGs to the SVS subs.
All items are sold on-line (the Velodyne from audioadvisor.com, the rest from the respective manufacturers) with money-back policies. It's a low risk way to go - if it doesn't move you, you can send it all back.
At $2150 this will get you a reasonably neutral, very nice sounding, manageably sized, full bandwidth system.
It should be well suited for your tastes and need for deep bass, but if you're still in the city and have neighbors that share a floor or walls, you'd better go easy on the volume knob or you won't be be very popular.
