The Lipinski L707 is a beautiful monitor with double 7’ woofers, sealed and will give you 35hz. Is advertised used from time to time. Former class a rated in Stereophile. Not selling mine :-)
Monitor suggestions?
An unexpected, modest budget improvement means I can (possible) address what I perceive as both poorly controlled bass and an overall lack of clarity. Yes, I realize I raised this before but I think I have a better handle of the problems at this point.
I suspect the first issue is due to insufficient damping factor on the part of the the Wells Majestic integrated coupled with an inherently difficult-to-control lower range in the Silverline SR17.5 monitors.
The second issue is most likely due to the dark and somewhat cloudy tonality of the Aqua La Voce 2 DAC.
I'm looking into upgrading the Wells but here and now, I'd like suggestions on changing speakers.

Budget: $3500 (used is fine)
Cabinet: Sealed box or downward firing port.
Lower extension (ideally) down to 35HZ
Neutral to somewhat cool (but not approaching analytical) tonality
Placement constraints: Backs of speakers cannot be more than three feet from back wall
and will sit atop 32" stands,(which means no 3-way or otherwise extra-tall cabs).
Listening:
60% acoustic (Jazz, Folkish, Celtic, Singer-songwriter, New Grass)
40% electric (Jam Band, Americana, Blues, Country).

So far, Elac Vela looks like a possibility. What else ?
I plan to assemble an entirely new system within 5 years. I'm just looking to make listening less frustrating for the present.
