You don't really need to compromise unless you want a bookshelf speaker that is trying to make bass it physically can't. Go listen to a pair of Thiels or Vandersteens and see what a budget full range speaker can do and sounds like. A pair of used Vandersteen Model 2CE (or newer Signature Is) with true biwiring would sound great for $1000. Check Audiogon or Ebay or your nearest Vandersteen dealer for used Model 2s. Do not worry about the number of them that you find, Vandersteen Model 2 is the best selling American made speaker ever, period. It has been in production for 30 years and constantly improved. Lastest is the Model 2Ce Signature II.
