Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass

Looking for the bookshelf speakers with the decent bass that would sound nice in 17'x 12' room. Listening preference:
Smooth/Uptempo Jazz; Acoustic Jazz and Ambiental music.
So far I am using Focal 807W Speakers and the NAD C356DAC.
Good sound, just missing "that" lover bass (hate sub woofers).
I really like how NAD sounds, especially after I replaced the
stock Pre/Amp jumpers. Nice open highs.
Or, should I try Floor standing speakers. Thank you in advance
on yours opinions.

Muzicat is right. I did not mention the budget.
Maximum $4000.00. Thank you all on your effort to help.
Again, I really like the sound of the NAD. But the NAD have
weird Volume gain, probably because of the same load on 8 &
4 Ohms. With the sensitive speakers like Focals (92.5 db)
I can turn the Volume knob up to Level 2 or 8 O'Clock position. After that is too loud.

"I think a floor standing speaker would be a much better way to go.
See if you can audition a pair of Tekton Enzo xl's. They're very easy to
drive and the bass is in a different league than what you have now. If for
some reason, you don't like them, listen to some Golden Ear floor standers.
The Triton 7 is very nice. That said, the Enzo's are hard to beat. You should
like them"

Wow Zd was right.

Actually I had heard "the Clue" Speakers in New York three
years ago but they require special set up and there is no
way that they would sound well in my living room. But it is very good suggestion. THANKS

What do you think of a pair of Tannoy Reveal 502's?
