My system currently comprises of a Marantz CD17 (modified) CD player, Sony TA-FB940R mosfet amp and Dynaudio 52 speakers (not SE).

I really like the sound of this system, but would like a little more 'slam' from the speakers.

The Dynaudios are sat on decent stands (Soundstyle Z1's) so I don't think better stands will make an awful lot of difference.

So the alternative option is a pair of floorstanding speakers.

Budget is limited to buying 2nd hand, up to £500.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can give similar tonal qualities to the Dynaudios, but with more bass?

The only likely option I have seen so far is a pair of Spendor S6's. 

I listen to Blues and Rock mainly.

Thanks.
 
You could look at adding a sub.

EDIT: Just re-read and clocked your budget.

B&W 684 or the 604 S3 from the previous range, and perhaps the now discontinued Monitor Audio RS6 & RS8.

If you can get a pair of S6s for £500, then jump at it.
 
Just missed a pair of S6s for £300 on that well known auction site.

Thanks for the other suggestions - I'll try and find some to listen to.
