SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.?

Hey Duke, appreciate the replays all, :)
I have a small size room and no I do not want horns!! I am not a huge rock or pop genre listener... all I need is “ENOUGH BASS” I know the word enough can be different for everyone... basically just need a pair where I can hear the low frequency sounds better! Having subs not an option for me at this point... I will challenge my request to find a pair that will deliver WHOLE aspect.. 
Regards

Well for MY modest system I put away a pair of K.E.F. LS50 with two older passive subs filtered at 80 Hz by my receiver and powered by a secondary amp, replaced them with a pair of SVS Ultra Tower speakers that I snagged "almost new" for $1k and have been very happy with them at this stage of my system building. 

Lets shout about it!!

Another option that comes in well below your budget would be a set of the Canton Vento 890.2 from accessories for less.  I'm seriously considering a set myself. 

Regarding Duke's finding of reduced transparency as result of high-pass filtering of main speakers, if a 1st-order filter is sufficient, a simple passive one can be installed on the input jacks of the amp powering the speakers, just a single cap usually. His approach of instead making speakers that are built to handle the demands of a full-range signal ignores one of the major benefits of high-pass filtering---removing the low frequencies from not just the speaker, but also the amp driving them.
