J_fav: The limit of bookshelf speakers, should be around 40hz, yes I did doubt that some did not. I've read that ProAc Response D2 seem to be the lowest hz listed in spec, but the cabinet bigger. So floorstander with bigger cabinets did go lower. Same applies to bookshelf stand-mount. But then I also concern on bass quality, hitting low note with too much resonance is a problem, personally I'm facing this because of bad cabinet box design, but then I should not care much, most probably bookshelf speakers can be matched with subwoofer to achieve full range purpose. Currently, frankly though I'm very happy with Wharfedale Denton sound quality, and bass, it still lack dynamic and power on extreme high volume, at that volume when playing orchestra music with so much dynamics, my ears still want more, I want to listen without distortions. Do you have any other suggestions?
