Athena is the way to go for that price. If you want bass with good clarity, there a great choice especially for that price range. I have the FS 1's with single 8" woofers and they put out more bass than a lot of 10" subs I've listened to.

If you already got the sub, then the bass response of whatever speaker you get is not as important, since it your receiver will cut off the lower portion of the signal content that gets sent into the main and surround speakers anyway. Go for something that meets your needs and preferences. If you want a more aggressive sound, you should first try out Klipsch, JBL, and Definitive Technology's bookshelf speakers.
