Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?

Thanks sandstone! That was actually another pair that I've heard about here and was considering also.

Thanks for the input Milpai, but I think you might of misunderstood my question; I'm looking for a pair of speakers that image well and have good detail but have low levels of bass, as bass is what is going to travel through walls and bother neighbors. Sorry if my question is confusing!

Seikosha, you mentioned ls 50's which is one I forgot about but also am intrested in; how do those stack up against minuets? I'll check into those omega super 3's also, thanks for the tip!

Seems like minuets keep coming up...

I'm a little surprised triangle cometes didn't come up...

House music: booka shade, hernan cattaneo, james zabiela...

Thanks for the help guys!

I'm a little confused about whether I am confused, or you guys are confused.

My amp has a sensitivity rating of 1.15v and my speakers are in the 90db sensitivity range; I really like the way my system sounds.

What I'm looking for is a pair of speakers that image well, have lots of detail, BUT THAT DON'T HAVE MUCH BASS OUTPUT!

I'm moving soon and don't want to bother my neighbors with bass transmission through the walls, so I'm trying to get good suggestions on speakers that image well, have lots of detail, AND THAT DON'T HAVE MUCH BASS.

I'm not trying to say that my current speakers don't have enough bass, what I'm looking for is a pair of speakers that don't put out much bass.

Please, no more suggestions on how to get more bass, I'm looking for some speakers that image well, have lots of detail, AND NOT MUCH BASS.

Image well, yes, detail, yes, Am I looking for more bass, no, AmI looking for less bass, yes!

Less bass, good, more bass, bad.

Thanks Everyone for your input! Much appreciated. I do read and consider all input; I know some posts take a bit to type out and that much thought and knowledge is given, silo thank you!

So, to answer a couple questions: my current speakers are kef qx5's and I've finally gotten my system all dialed in; it sounds great! Only problem is, in three months I'm getting married and will be moving in with her and she lives in a guest area of a home. She helps a man who is in a wheelchair, get ready in the mornings, and in return, he is gracious enough to give us a place to live, rent free! The room where we will have the stereo set up shares a wall with ghe home owner and we are on the second floor so sound will travel through our floor into the homeowners hallway ceiling also. Yhis is why I am looking for a nice pair of speakers WITHOUT MUCH BASS!!

I'm thinking Silverline Minuets (supreme plus??), Triangle Cometes (30th anniversary??) or kef ls50.

I think that I'll just go ahead and pay the $500 to triple up on the sheetrock between my back wall that is shared whit the homeowners bedroom wall just to help with bass transmission.

Oh, add to that short list 3a mm decapos. As you can see my budget is increasing. Lets just say $1500 or less!

Soix, thanks for the input regarding bass transmission, as I was thinking that the triple layer, green glue would help with bass. I think really what I need to do is just wait until I move in and then do some sound tests with my music playing and then go down in there bedroom to see how bad the situation is going to be.

I really don't get why home builders (especially custom home builders at the price point that this home is; $800-$1m?) don't spray insulation in the floor joists in an attempt to help withnoise transmission through walls, floors and ceilings. It sure would help homeowners enjoy thier homes more if thier teenagers pounding techno music (or in this case, my pounding techno music) throughout the whole house. I love techno / house music but I can totally understand how utterly annoying it is when all you can hear is "boom boom boom boom boom".

So what you're telling me is that if I had more gain I'd get more detail, better imaging and less bass? Because that's what I'm after. And do you know how much gain I have in my system? Should I just replace my lightspeed attenuator, one of my favorite pieces? Ummm, okay...

Yeah, I' gotten more recomendations for silverline minuets than any others. Guess I should pull the trigger on pair...

Thanks Larry! I agree with what you said and maybe I should revisit the maggie idea as Elizabeth had another good point about them not putting out the kind of bass that really travels through walls so much.

I guess I could also check into a pair of crossovers; necer thought about that...
I did try plugging my ports but that didn't work so well.

I guess I could think about a pair of speakers that would just sound really good at low volumes.

I'm just confused at the moment about whats going to work best.

Hey, Tony, thanks for the input on the different silverlines! I appreciate the info. I'll check for your pm. Thanks!
