You are right in my sweet spot. I have owned dozens of speakers in this category/price range.
As others have mentioned, forget woofer size. If you are looking for good solid bass for under $200 and still want a well-rounded speaker, try a/d/s, original Advents, AR, older Polk, Boston Acoustics, Avid, RTR, Graphyx, DCM, EPI, Epicure. Also, Optimus Mach One.
All of the above can be found cheap if you are patient and beat the typical Kabuki junk (Sansui, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sharp, Technics, etc.) and modern big box JBL, Klipsch, and Bose junk that makes up most of the CL listings. Also, avoid Cerwin-Vega, just my opinion.
