What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Shadorne Barefoot is one I am not familiar with. Those seem to add the powered subs, in fact 4 separate powered bass drivers per speaker in a small package indeed. hard to argue with that. Thanks for identifying those.Seemingly a smaller package b...

Chayro I would love to hear those at home. 
Something just isn't there
Yes one thing that is often "not there" is actually physically feeling the music as well as hearing it.      
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
noble100,Thanks for those kind remarks.Yes we are on the same page on what is best. Also with Atmasphere on the size factor.That is why I ask the question. I prefer simple and small, not large and/or many.Totem Mani 2 has always interested me in t...

Yes suspended plywood floors.   
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Yes 20 hz and dynamic range which is why I tend to think larger drivers and speakers for that.   But how small can they be?     Zu has yet to bowl me over in demos in regards to having that low end dynamic "meat on the bones" as I like to say but ... 
Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
okki nokki...not bad! 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?

sbank yes its hard to generalize but my point is I’ve found its easy to get ones foot in the door with good quality digital sound these days, probably better than most have ever had in the past.Of course its always possible to tweak and improve on...

Reflective wood floors are another issue to be addressed by rugs, carpet, etc.. The one I am talking about is more about how rigid the floor is ie how it is constructed, not just how finished. Most upper level floors in homes are built to have som...

Would give a listen given the chance but not excited about this. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
I've heard Mani's and liked those very much.   I recall they had a unique bass driver design. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
I'm just interesting in what smaller speakers people have found are truly good down to 20hz and if so why. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
The ohm walshes do quite well in this area. I’ve heard response with test records down to 20 hz with 8 inch ohm Walsh drivers in the past. The smaller ones I have these days are 8 inch and the larger 12 inch. One individual on the ohm thread here ...
