What are your "wants" in tonal quality?I know you want bass but the sad truth is you ain't gonna get it with most of today's offerings. at best you'll get 40hz but you're not getting "BASS". You are going to need that sub unless you go the old school designs of "DUDE, that's a big-bad-woofer".
Just a generalize finding. If you want natural tones paper coned mids / woofers have been the gold standard for that quality. Exotic materials have tried but never really grasped it. They are just easier to deal with in production.
If you want bass then the bigger the cone the more bass ya gonna git. Not the bigger the box the more bass you're going to get.
The bigger the box doesn't equal bigger sound quality.
If you do go with a sub, and I think you will end up doing that, then just keep this in mind. If a speaker does go down to low then you start running into blending problems. Find a good smallish tower or really GOOD monitor that has at least a 7" cone. Like the Zaph Audio SR-71s. Opps did I mention those again?
If you are willing to drop around three or four grand on a speaker consider the Revelator tower kit at Madisound and have a speaker cabinet custom built for you. Again - you're not finding much better in the class.
