Check out the circular shaped buttons labeled 1-9, 0, TV-VCR, and +10. You will notice that they are also labeled other things in yellow lettering.

I don't think you are going to find a bookshelf speaker that will give you the low end you are looking for. It's kind of difficult to do it all in such a small box. I find most old time speakers will give you muffled bass, but lack in clarity. When I upgraded from an old pair of technics floorstanders to the m22s I lost quite of bit of bass, but gained the detail and clarity I was looking for. Considering that, the loss of 'low end' didn't mean much.
