do they have to be floor standing? so you want "more" bass, right?

I have a pair of $50 sony bookshelves, and they stand up pretty well to some of the $250+ pairs I have laying around, including a nice pair of mirages. I can imagine the floorstanding model will do quite nicely for you.

why don't you simply add a powered sub to your current system to bring on the bass?
