So going purely off the specs, I would need a subwoofer and that makes the Yamaha package I linked to above an attractive package at least price-wise.

Or perhaps this JBL Sub:

With these monitors:

There may be other packages I put together, but you are right, if I have to consider a sub, and it sounds like I do, I need to consider packages that bring the monitors and the sub in for around $1k.

Thanks again!

To be complete, the LH spec should be stated as xx Hz at -y.z dB.

xx = frequency
-y.z = loss of frequency at xx stated in decibels.

For example, 42 Hz at -3 dB, or 42 Hz at -10 dB.

The first example would be fine for your needs. The second example not so much so.
