    I think what RGA's trying to say is...how much $$$ are you budgeting for this purchase?

    While you're answering RGA's and KC's questions, how about telling us what you listen to, what you are going to be driving them with, any placement issues, etc. The more info, the better.

    More information would be helpful. However, I'll make an initial recommendation on a bargain priced 20 Hz to 20 KHz speaker system for music listening to get the discussion rolling.

    Get a pair of Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 bookshelf speakers for $328 plus shipping. The frequency response for the CBM-170 is shown here.

    Add an SVS PB10-ISD subwoofer for $399 plus shipping. The frequency response for the PB10-ISD is shown here.

    Total cost for all three: around $800.

    Assumptions: I assume that you do not plan to listen to music at rock concert volume levels. I also assume that your receiver or preamp has a subwoofer output jack since the PB10-ISD has no internal crossover.

    I am thinking of a sub and bookshelf, or floor models? How about some ideas.

    Room is 20x20 feet and concerning $$$, less is more! Thanks all.
    Dude, you're screwed. The first thing I'm going to tell you is install some serious bass dampening, especially at whatever node is reinforced at 20 feet. (Anyone?...anyone?...Williams? Smith?...Anyone? 28 Hz.)
