Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound?

I’m trying to identify a bookshelf (monitor) speaker that will give a big, full sound. Budget up to $2,000

These will be located in a larger living room. For aesthetic reasons I’m pursing bookshelf speakers. Currently these would be mated with Rega electronics, and someday I may move back to tube-based equipment.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

I second the Von Schweikert VR-1's. Great sound for a great price!

The new Spendor SA-1's are terrific bookshelf speakers. Sound much bigger than their size.

Definitely Dynaudio for a big, dynamic sound from a standmount. These are at home in a larger room.

Look into a Contour (1.3SE or S1.4), or even better, the special 25.

Ohm makes fantastic and very under appreciated speakers that have a HUGE soundstage, among many other attributes, and have a SMALLER footprint than most stand mount speakers.

Oops! I just remembered the tiny speaker that reputedly has room-filling sound and extended bass (down to the 30's if placed against the wall)--the GURU QM10 (also here).

And the price is right at your budget.
