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?

I have a pair of Altec Lansing VOT's driven by a Conrad Johnson Premier 4. I put on Aurthur Browns 'Fire' and give it the 'match test'; I hold a match about 1" from the woofer dustcover and the turbulence blows out the match. Yes, there is bass.

Legacy audio Focus XDs, dual 12 inch subs with active 700w per channel, my house and walls rattle, shake and boom like never before, especially with electronic music. Absolutely the best sounding and most realistic sound pressure level speakers for the money of any speaker I have heard. 

Bleh, 30 years ago I had some panasonics I bought at a PX.

they had either 18 or 20” woofers, 5 or 6 inch midrange and a horn tweeter with 3 buttons on the top for selecting which got more power.. drove em with Carver Silver Seven-t monos.

Those things were… loud and shook the rental house I had after ets..

cracked a few of the windows… the owner was not happy with me.. 22 and height of the rock era “and we had some fun.” I cannot even remember where or when I downsized.. but I always liked those speakers.

A pair of Thiel 3.5 speakers with its equalizer will give you full power down to about 20hz....enough that bass turns into a vibration as much as a sound.  The only drawback is that the speakers take at least 200 strong watts per channel to begin to handle equalized bass this low.
