Magnepan for a small room

Thanks for your comments. I've been looking at smaller bookshelf type speakers and planning on adding a sub, however I thought I might look at getting a floor standing speaker that would give me good bass for about the same price of bookshelf's plus a sub.

What would you suggest, a bookshelf and sub or just a floorstand speaker with no sub?

Thanks for your comments, I enjoy the interaction & discussion.

Thanks 4musica44107, but I'm trying to stay under $1K for my speakers.

Br3098, do you think a floorstanding speaker would overpower the room? I don't want to over kill the room but I just want a natural bass sound.

Thanks to all for you help and insight.
