Need more heft
The new LSA-20 Statements are on sale here now for $4500/pr and includes some nice speaker cables in the deal. They go down to 25Hz and will likely better your Souls in virtually every parameter. There’s a review on Part Time Audiophile that uses a Pass amp and a 20W tube amp and found the LSAs to be largely on par with his $25k reference speakers. Plus the seller/manufacturer offers a 30-day trial and free shipping, which is really nice. Best of luck in your search. |
My weakest link, due to large room is my Emerald Physics KCIIs But last night I decided to replace an $800 boutique power cord with a WireWorld Electra 7 MSRP $240 to my Core Power 1800 which plugs into a 20 amp dedicated line. This completes my Electra 7 cords powering my system I am shocked what this one inexpensive change made across the board, especially noticed in the bass, which came alive hth |
Check out the Golden Ear speaker line. They offer great performance at an affordable price range, including powered bass. https://www.goldenear.com/products/triton-series |

I have a pair of JBL L100 Classics and also have a pair of Kef R3s and both are spec'd to go down to 40hz however the bass is much more ever-present with certainly more heft and presence with the JBL's. They are very different sounding speakers and both excel in different ways but I like the JBL's more overall. People say the JBL's are a fun and entertaining speaker and I wholeheartedly agree. |
