Speakers with deep/powerful bass


I used to have a system with large speakers. Each speaker had two 12" woofers. When I would play Hard as a Rock from the AC-DC BallBreaker CD there was a moment at 35 seconds into the song when it felt like someone was jumping on the floor behind me. This would only happen if my JPS Labs Golden Flutes were looped into the system, and it was playing very loud. Without the Golden Flutes it didn't happen. It was a truly frightening experience the first time it happened, because I was home alone. Has anyone else had anything like this occur?

So do you want it to sound like it was recorded or do you want it to shake the floor.  Very seldom do those 2 choices overlap.

I used to enjoy watching people who came over to enjoy some tunes, jump out of their skin, when Tony Levin hit that certain note on his bass stick on Al DeMeola's Scenario. At the time I had a pair of AR9lsi driven by a pair of Perreaux PMF 2150's. Priceless!

Cheers to that. 

I used to have a pair of Cerwin Vegas. Old Fisher Audio amplifier + CD player. It was nice...a big, open, warm sounding system. It couldn't convince me that what I was hearing was real, but did a nice job of filling up the room with sound and plenty of bass too. 

Good ole Infinity Kappa 9 and 9.2 will rattle the house 

with the right power behind them 

Most speakers mentioned here has Non accurate bass big rounded bass altec Lansing cerwin Vega , Klipsch , these speakers at best upper 30 hz 

that’s why i mentioned  a good quality powered sub woofer if that’s what you want 

this will enhance most speakers unless you have  over $20k+ for upper quality speakers. I am torn from a decent say marten oscar trio which will do quality bass to around 30 hz , or buy a great stand mount such as the. MBL  126 stand mount with matching stands , and just buy another Svs SB 4000 sub . I have all year to ponder this for these are all in the $15k + range , I have to save my Pennies.
