Bookshelf/subwoofer combo

Suggestions:

Actives: Buchardt A500, ATC SCM20ASL, Dutch&Dutch 8c  (would be over budget but no need for streamer/DAC/amp or sub, for that matter, and has room correction.) Genelec 8351

Passives: Studio Electric M4, Alta Alyssa, ProAc Response D2, Amphion Argon 3s

FWIW, I have a pair of Studio Electric M4s, they are excellent speakers.

I love my Studio Electric M4.   Such a great speaker.    I use them with a 10" REL in my second system.    

I have a pair of Forte IV in my main system but find myself listening to the M4 about 75% of the time.    

They are voiced perfectly for my tastes.   My brother and Dad are both Sonus Faber owners and have said numerous times how good they sound.   Strong value.  

Every thing here sounds,good...Just show me the money.

@motown-l +1     @jallan could also be correct.  I ran ATC 40 actives for years without a sub, seemed terrific.  They like Gaia footers and quality XLRs (active).

@celtic66 i have Gaia footers on my SCM40’s! 

I will add that the Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene’s load rooms of the size in question very well- these speakers are insanely great and have a very substantial feel to their bass. If I owned these I probably would consider running them without subwoofers.
