AudiogoN Forums: Speakers with deep base

Speakers with deep base

Looking for a speaker that will do deep and abundant base. Must have, at least in my view, at least 12''+ drivers. Thinking 5-7k in budget.

My room is 20 feet wide and 60 feet long.

Other restrictions on gear are really not an issue. I can buy what I need.

Thanks Ken

How about the JBL Synthesis 1400 Array, which has a 14" woofer.

However, I think trying to produce good bass from a floorstanding speaker is a flawed notion since you can not position the speakers where they need to be for good bass. I'd consider smaller higher quality main speakers with multiple subwoofers.

However, an exception to my comment are the larger Vandersteen speakers that have builtin EQ to address the position issue. Richard V is a smart man; makes the only bass limited stand mount speaker I know of.
