Recommendations for high fidelity but bass restricted speakers

Hmmmm.... I'm trying to reduce bass

Yes, a sub definitely won't help you with that requirement!

I think Puffin may have missed that in your first post.

Well you should all know by now that I am classified as clinically insane I have been playing with subs for about 30 years and even at very low volume the effect is surprising.

Some of the small stand mount B&Ws are superb, as are the Focals. Weighty enough to satisfy but not weighty enough to desatisfy next door.

agreed , well impressed with the 607s2 anniversary . lovely vocals , clear and very balanced . enjoy mine a lot . bass very controlled , would meet ops requirements . nicely made

Kef LS50 meta for me.

Some great suggestions, many thanks to all, and much thought for the future.

In the meantime I think I've got my bases (like the pun?) covered now with the Red50s and the MM2s like so:

Full bass - Red50
Lower bass - MM2
Even lower bass - Red50 with folded socks in the rear ports (bungs didn't do what I wanted)
Very low bass - MM2 with bungs in rear ports
