I've had a pair of Revel M106 for a little over two years and they have great bass response for a small speaker....I use a sub but run them full range. At night I turn the sub off and the bass is still very satisfying. They sound like a much bigger speaker without ever sounding boomy or bloated. With a good sub they make for a great 2.1 system but I could easily live with just the two speakers. I should note that I'm driving them with a 40 watt tube amp and they kick ass in my 17 x 15 room. I have owned many high performance bookshelf speakers over there years and these are one of my favorites.
best bookshelf speakers for < $2000?
I have Studio-20 V5s on stands right now for my living room 2.0 music system and, while I like the sound, I need more bass extension.
I don't want to add a sub due to room clutter concerns. So, I am looking fro an upgrade from my Studio20s.
I have been looking into towers but now am thinking, why not stay with sand-mounted speaker since I have the stands already. This is for 2ch music only. My amp is Emotiva UPA-2 SS amp.
Would I do better to go towers or go higher-end bookshelf speakers?
The towers I've been looking at have been
Salk SongBirds/Towers
Ascend Sierra Tower
Silverline Prelude Plus
Thx.
