Bookshelf/subwoofer combo

This is my first log in since my last post because I came down with Shingles and haven't wanted to do anything .  When I feel better I'll come back and re-engage. Sorry for being such a flake.

I would start here, I will be when I need another pair of standmounts

Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene (Used $6,000), Revival Atalante 3s 7" woofer (New $3,200) OR Atalante 4 Floorstanders ($5,500 new) or Atalante 5s 12" woofer ($6,000), Fritz Carbon 7s 7" woofer ($3,000), or Rosso Fiorentino Arno 20 6.5" woofer ($7,000 new)

Perlisten R5m monitor ~$6500.  

JL Audio D110 subwoofer- ~$2400 / pair.  

A bookshelf monitor with two 6-in woofers to fill in that above subwoofer impact.  Also has ability t plug the enclosure ports which eliminates the out of phase bass making subwoofer integration much more likely to be successful.  

The JL Audio subwoofers are the best sounding subwoofers I have owned vs. REL T9s, SVS SB 2000 pro and SB3000 and others.  Clean sounding and well defined, zero cabinet buzzing or localization, 0-phase operation with no time delay vs the signal that feeds the mains, again for seamless integration.  

If you try and integrate monitors with subs IMO it's much more seamless with crossing over the monitors to 70-80hz and time aligning to the sub(s). You can also normally play much louder effortlessly rather than letting the monitors play all the bass notes. The Lyngdorf units are amazing at this and they sound fantastic to my ear.

Depending on the sound signature you want the spectrum is all over the place for monitor speakers. Example Sonus Faber on one end of the spectrum and Focal on the other. Both great but I don't think anyone would mistake one for the other. Chocolate or Vanilla.
