if your room is treated or heavily damped, you may want to add a subwoofer for deeper Bass. REL is a perfect, sonic match to your SF speakers.
Most important of all, what Cabling are you using?

No, my room is not treated or heavily damped. It's a typical North American living room with drywall finished walls, hardwood floors with an area rug and a heavy/thick curtain over the window behind the listening position.I'm using Crystal Cable Micro Diamond Series speakers cables and interconnects.
I'm not interested in a subwoofer. I use to have a Linn Akurate system with Linn bookshelves & subwoofer and never was able to dial-in / integrate the sub perfectly, so this is why I'm moving to floorstanding column speakers.
I'm now using a McIntosh MAC6700 stereo receiver (200W per channel - solid state).

Nice cable selection. I understand any haphazard feelings on using a sub.
The most critical concept is using REL, as it is the easiest to massage, into any existing system.
It seems your heart is set on no sub. But what you want and what you will end up getting are going to be two very different animals.
Here's a little something to chew on. Why not look into some professionally restored vintage speakers. Ones with a nice big woofer that WILL give you that bass sound and feel you are looking for. For $3-5k I am SURE you will find something very nice.
He has a nice amp. Now he needs to get a speaker that better matches his room and other general setup components.
Sometimes we look at the bigger more shiny toy and forget what we really need.
If Samurai is going to drop $3-5k. Then lets get him the best match for his money.
I agree he's going to need that sub and not bigger speakers. Your recommendation was spot on.
