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 had Salk Songtowers that, all of a sudden, had deep, powerful bass. Had them for years before I put them in a new position. I thought the reviews of this speaker’s bass response were mostly hyperbole until I placed them in a decent room, in a decent spot with nothing between them or around them but air.

It’s really the room. I’m guessing most of us have no idea what our speakers are truly capable of. I don’t even think I found a perfect position but simply came closer than any time before.

So really, I had a room that produced amazing bass. I've since moved, sold those speakers and have invested triple my investment. Although I like the sound of my new system...it really falls short of that room...
