BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS?


I LISTEN TO MOSTLY INSTRUMENTAL CLASSICAL AND JAZZ AT PRIMARILY LOWER VOLUME LEVELS. MASTER BEDROOM=AROUND 210 SQUARE FEET WITH GOOD ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES.
1) I WOULD LIKE FLOOR STANDING SPEAKERS WITH GOOD BASS INTO 20HZ RANGE THAT DO NOT REQUIRE SEPARATE SUBWOOFERS.
2) THE SPEAKERS SHOULD LOOK GOOD (WAF)AND SHOULD NOT BE TOO BIG,SMALLER THAN 4.5 FEET IN HEIGHT.
3) I COULD SPEND AS MUCH AS 10K OR MORE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO FIND A USED OR DEMO PAIR FOR MUCH LESS THAN THAT.
4) AT THAT MUCH MONEY, THE SPEAKERS SHOULD HAVE GREAT DETAIL, AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE LACKING IN ANY AREA.
I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS. MY ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR.
REGARDS,
JOHN

I am in a similar situation and listen to the same types of music. My roon is a little larger, but I listen to music late at night after everyone goes to sleep. Every once and a while on the weekends I get a chance to listen a higher volume--which is fun! I went through a number of speakers and finially landed on a pair of Verity Audio Fidelio's. I find them to be so true to the music--these speakers will pull you in and make you feel like you are sitting about ten rows back. The soundstage is very deep and layered and the detail at low volume to my ears is exceptional. There are speakers that will make you think you are sitting in the first row, but to my ears they sound a little compressed. The rest of my system is a Cary V-12R with the oil cap upgrade and an Audio Aero Capitol mk2 CDP.Hope this helps, it is just one persons opinion, and there are sure to be many. Let your ears make the finial call!
