Speakers with deep/powerful bass

I used to enjoy watching people who came over to enjoy some tunes, jump out of their skin, when Tony Levin hit that certain note on his bass stick on Al DeMeola's Scenario. At the time I had a pair of AR9lsi driven by a pair of Perreaux PMF 2150's. Priceless!

Cheers to that. 

I used to have a pair of Cerwin Vegas. Old Fisher Audio amplifier + CD player. It was nice...a big, open, warm sounding system. It couldn't convince me that what I was hearing was real, but did a nice job of filling up the room with sound and plenty of bass too. 

Good ole Infinity Kappa 9 and 9.2 will rattle the house 

with the right power behind them 

Most speakers mentioned here has Non accurate bass big rounded bass altec Lansing cerwin Vega , Klipsch , these speakers at best upper 30 hz 

that’s why i mentioned  a good quality powered sub woofer if that’s what you want 

this will enhance most speakers unless you have  over $20k+ for upper quality speakers. I am torn from a decent say marten oscar trio which will do quality bass to around 30 hz , or buy a great stand mount such as the. MBL  126 stand mount with matching stands , and just buy another Svs SB 4000 sub . I have all year to ponder this for these are all in the $15k + range , I have to save my Pennies.

The Volti Audio Rivals w/ their 15” pro audio sourced woofers, while maybe only flat to 35hz, can play as loud as you want & sound great doing so in just about any size room. I have listened to Jethro Tull’s Aqualung on many good systems & thought I knew it well. Then through the Rivals w/ a good tube amp, I heard the true impact of the bass guitar & drums like never before. It was up very loud & I was both scared & cracking up at the same time. That said, Martin Barre’s guitar solo on the cut was also outstanding w/ power & body that few speakers can do at least for long. 
 

If you want the volume & dynamics of the old JBL’s, Altecs, Klipsch, Cerwin Vegas etc & the nuanced detail & imaging of good modern speakers, check them out. Imo, They’re the closet thing to live music I’ve heard at anything near a reasonable price. Their “smaller” model, the Razz, comes pretty close for less than half the $. ( about $6K vs about $15K).  Both are so much fun!!
