dear lord, i need help...

i'm on the hunt. moniters. i am interested in imaging, but bass extension is a must,(i might not be able to add a sub), so maybe we'll work with detail and pure reproduction. i'm in the thousand dollar range(maybe 1500 if need be). i'm looking at proac tablette, gma europa, norh, spica, spendor, revel, vr 1, moniter audio, sonus faber, etc etc. i am having a tough time nailing it down, pleae guys...sound off!
