If you want "tight" bass then you will need a very large box speaker - a corner horn loaded or something like that. The problem with "tight" bass is that is requires critical damping (no bass bump in the frequency response) - this is necessarily inefficient until you get to a big woofer and big box ( think 10" woofer as a bare minimum ). Think classic Klipsch or Tannoys - big armchair sized stuff and you will be in heaven.
Efficient speaker, big bad tight bass?
Any reccommendations out there for this criteria:
1) Conservative looking, wood finish a must
2) Smaller (no 100-150pound behemoths need apply)
3) Can be run nicely with 30 watts class A power
4) Great for Rock and dynamic slam
5) $3-$4k used
I am looking at the new Klipsch Palladians. They seem to fit the bill, look nice and conservative. Anyone hear them?
Thanks all
