In that one cannot have all three of bass, efficiency and small size in a speaker its a useful exercise to rate a hifi speaker in each of these categories.Being conservative on a scale of 1-10 for my Triangle Titus XS:bass - 6efficiency - 7small s...

Also with a good quality powered sub or two set up just right, almost anything is possible otherwise. So there is always that very practical option available to help pick up the slack whenever needed.

A few watts shows its limitations most with lower frequencies. Either the speakers have to make up for the lack of muscle needed to produce quality bass by being very large and if also good quality very expensive, or else you have to punt on the b...

One can wean a lot of very good sound out of NAD if done right. 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
I'd like to audition a pair of avantgarde or used Jadis Eurythmie. If these did not wean me off the dark side I'd just upgrade to ohm 5015 save 10 grand and call it a day. 😎
