Speakers with deep/powerful bass

I've shook my room and at times the house with my Moab's (2 - 12's" each) more than a few times. My wife thought the military base not far from us was detonating old ordinance (MCAAP base in OK).

They were VERY well-known for bass, but when we built a couple of cabinets for  24" Hartley woofers for the Mark Levinson HQD system, we learned what REAL bass was in a relatively small room.

No slam on CV's, but it you want REAL bass...get yourself a pretty hefty amp, of  course...

I had the Snell Type A V5 system. It was fun to bring a newbie into the listening seat and hit them with deep percussion. (18 inch subs) Even their wife downstairs would jump when the walls rattled!

As I read through the responses the talk turned to only what the bass could or was doing and nothing about the overall sound quality of the speaker. With that in mind I will put up my old Bose 901’s running through my Sansui 7070 receiver. I was able to knock trinkets off the shelf of my neighbors home. Take sound quality out of the mix they are the best party speaker made.

Great review of your previous listening room! What were the dimensions of that room?
