ribbon or electrostatic speakers

Are there any ribbon or electrostatic speakers that you can feel the impact of the bass?

Even the Magnepan 1.6 will generate very good bass (above 40hz) when mated to a 300wpc+ solid state or 200+ wpc tube amplifier. The Quad 989 produces superb bass above 30 hz. For the ultimate in bass get the soundlab M-1's. Those go down to 20hz. (disclaimer I sell Quads). The trick is to get a monster amplifier that will cause the panels to generate 'rock solid' bass within their range. You might want to just consider mating a subwoofer to an ESL. I have had pretty good luck with the Quads/Rel. This also gives you the benefit of sub-20hz bass and a smaller panel in your room. I have not heard them lately but both the Martin-Logans and the Innersound are hybrid designs with a built in sub.
