Instead of changing speakers, consider acquiring a powered subwoofer and keep the deep bass completely out of the 2105/T5 combination.
You'll easily make budget buying an appropriate commercial product. However, subwoofer construction is a pretty easy DIY project and considerable savings can be realized. I've provided a link below to a 250 W. Parts Express S/W amp that has a suitable built in line level cross over. Add an enclosure, driver, and some interconnect cables to finish things off.
