monitor w/ bass?

I heard a recent Snell bookshelf speaker. I forget exactly which model, maybe the Q. They seemed built real well, and good bass for a speaker that size. Solid overall. I don't know if you'd be able to find them used, but it's worth a shot. Snell does a lot for the money, even new (I'm biased, I use the C/V for my mains). As someone mentioned, though, bookshelves aren't the greatest place for speakers. Money no object, I just heard the Dyanudio Confidence 3, which at $8000, driven by a 100w/ch spectral amp, were astounding. You probably want a sub if you're going to spend that kind of money on monitors though, even ones with good bass.

I agree with the B&W recommendations above. The 805N is awesome but expensive. The CDM-1NT comes pretty close for a lot less money. If cost is a factor, try a pair of Soliloquy 5.0s. They give the B&Ws a serious run for a lot less money. Silverlines might be another good alternative.

What is your budget? Knowing this will help everybody make better recommendations. Good luck.

Try the Dynaudio 1.3SE - outstanding bass for its size, and it does everything else very well. It's pretty inefficient, though, so you'd want to check it out with your amp.

I'd like to keep the price under $1500 new or used.
