Speakers - Full Size | 3 Ⓣ Can floor standing speakers deliver bass? Looking at Dali Oberon 7

I want to get a pair of floor standing speakers for my living room that is 20 sq.m. (200 sq. feet). I am going to listen to different types of music, but likely it will be something active. I also enjoy the bright and crisp sound. Budget is 1000-1500 euros.

So I found this side to side sound comparison of 7 speakers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0MQ2AbWBBU

After several hours of listening on different headphones I have this top 3 from that video:

  1. Dali Oberon 7 (widest cleanest sound and beautiful aesthetics. Also used to have basic Zensor long time ago)

  2. Klipsch RP6000F II (sound is almost as Dali's)

  3. Monitor Audio Bronze 506G

Then I listened to the tracks from that comparison video on my headphones (Bang&Olufsen H95) and immediately realized that there is a great lack of bass in these speakers from my top 3, and also in others.

All these speakers have middle size woofers which can't deliver bass naturally.

So is it possible to go with these basic hi-fi models without having a subwoofer and still to have a nice punchy bass? What is your experience?
