Hello, even if you choose a specific brand (i.e. B&W, extra bass etc), you could either
turn OFF the bass extension (sorry, don't have the time to find the manual online to
confirm that you have that option), OR by placing the speakers elsewhere, there will be
less bass.

I'm not saying that is a preferred practice than getting the right speakers which don't sound
too booming, but in case you are willing to go with a specific brand, that does have just
a little bit too much boom.

Ok, you decided to go 2-channel, what kind of music are you going to listen to ?
If it's to be much rock, Hip/hop, then expect a lot of bass to be introduced from the
source. Then you may wish to consider speakers that are a little lighter on the
bass/boom.

I have Dynaudio Contour Mark II 1.8's, and they are absolutely devine for classical,
ambient, anything but rock/hip hop. If the singing of the artists is of high calibre,
i.e. Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, Hayley Westenra etc, my babies will sing
like angels in heaven.

So just consider that there are some speakers which are more suited to some
music types/genres, and other speaker brands/models are more suited to different
types. Any shop salesman should be able to be honest enough with you if you ask
them straight away as soon as you walk in, that ok, I like "x" types/genres of music,
which speakers do you have are best for these types ?
