Hi efficient speaker, bass problems

Viridian ... Your right , you are entitled to your wayward misconceptions .

Sorry , should have said High sensitivity speakers . One of the above posters mentioned amps , and yes now that I think about it the high sensitivity speakers that friends use are being powered by low powered amps .

Unsound.. Glad to see someone hears what I do .
A friend and I were talking about this , since he has high sensitivity ( 94db ) speakers , so we are going to put it to the test , and see if my mid sized solid state amp ( Levinson #431 , 200wpc ) will grip the bass bins on his JBL Project K2s better than his great sounding Luxman MQ-88s ( 40wpc ) . Were going to lug my amp over there this week end . I'll post back in next week with the results of this simple test .... Have A Great Day... Tim

The Levinson amp did add some punch in the lower octaves , made the Luxman sound a bit unmoored in comparison , but lost out in other areas . Ive never had much luck with biamp set ups , but we decided to try it while we had every thing we needed in house . The results were eye opening , it seemed to be the best of both worlds . Of coarse by that time we were all full of wine .

I don't no if the earth shaking aspects , couch and picture shaking is a product of low bass or to much energy at a given frequency Nonoise . The speakers I use go very low , the manual says ( -3dB @ 24 Hz ) and I don"t get shaking and vibrating , just punchy , full bass thats free from overhang .
See my system link for a visual look .
.... Happy Listening ...

Stereophile recently claimed they had tested 750 speakers and the average sensitivity was 86dB . John Atkinson didn't come right out and say it, but seemed to prefer sealed box designs .
The only sub Iv'e heard that didn't give away it's position was a very large REL .
All this ( proof is the pudding ) talk is making me hungry .
