@andy2 The CS2.4 goes down to about 30 cycles in my room and I have them well away from walls. That’s enough to reproduce all but the left most one or two keys on a piano. Not much music down there. My previous speaker was Vandy 2CE Sig II, useful output into the mid 20s. My collection includes a single song wherein I noticed the deficit via the 2.4s. If you can afford Vandersteen 7s, go for it. They are fanatstic *and* have full output down to about 20 cycles. Or, if you really want those last couple of notes, you can add a subwoofer or pair to the 2.4s. I seriously considered subwoofers when I had the CS1.6 but that model quits at about 50 cycles. I have zero desire to add subwoofers to my 2.4s.

It depends on the size of your listening room.  As good as the CS2.4, as far as the bass is concerned, it cannot compete with other speakers with 10in. or 2x10in bass drivers.

I have also a set off Kef's R900, bass of the CS2.4 is the better one for sure.
