is a difficult finding a stand speaker nearfield that have bass. I never find any.

 

When you say bass, I think you meant mid bass. The kind of bass that you find in Tracy Chapman’s fast car. If you are looking for that kind of bass than Harbeth is not going to give you the satisfaction. 

 

I was using Harbeth SHL5 and it never could give the oomph ( in the mid bass attack) that you can find with the Egglestonworks, Dynaudio or ProAc.  You may want to look at pro audio speakers such as Genelac and others. 

 

If I were you, pick a song which you like the bass and narrow the bass frequencies range that you are after.

Btw, this is also how the difference in forward vs laid back emerges.

 

For rock type music, the forward type speakers sounds better.
