I obtained satisfying bass using the vintage Cary SLA-70Sig with 42 watts per channel using NOS EL-34's, and the Platinum Audio Solo's. So your Cary SLI-80 should really have no trouble providing deep, pitch accurate, acoustic,and electric bass, with impressive "jump factor" when drums, and percussion get into the act.
These speakers were designed by Phil Jones, himself a bass player, and it showcases the crucial bass range, as can no other low cost monitor, or floorstander. Goes for about $600-700, used on Audiogon, because this manufacturer is no more, although the designer is doing better than ever. Even in this price range, the truly full range sound lets most listeners avoid the nuisance of integrating a sub-woofer.
Be sure to check out the IC's, and Speaker cables of Audiogon member, Gregg Straley, if you want to savor this full range sound, at a matching low price. Speaker cables are $180 for eight foot pair, and IC's are $120 per pair.
You will be able to showcase your full range, three dimensional sound, and smile at the bass, which now matches the quality of the rest of the sound spectrum.
