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?

The old Polk audio SDA line put out some really good low bass if you properly powered them. They also have decent sound quality with upgraded tweeters and crossovers.

Anything jbl with 12 inch woofers or bigger. My jbl 4345 will shake the pictures off the wall and still sound dang good while doing it

My Focal Stella Utopias have no trouble energising my 'difficult' room.

They each use a 13.5 inch field coil bass driver, similar to the 18 inch one in the Grande Utopias. I'm a fan of drum and bass, a genre where the melody is in the sub-bass region, as wel, as root rockers and dub reggae, plus deep house. No other genres require more ,well-controlled, deep bass

My speakers are supported by four 18 inch Velodyne dd18+ subs, in stereo bass stacks alongside my main speakers.  I reckon I've got sota bass.

I have a pair of Altec Lansing VOT's driven by a Conrad Johnson Premier 4. I put on Aurthur Browns 'Fire' and give it the 'match test'; I hold a match about 1" from the woofer dustcover and the turbulence blows out the match. Yes, there is bass.
