Speakers with deep/powerful bass


I used to have a system with large speakers. Each speaker had two 12" woofers. When I would play Hard as a Rock from the AC-DC BallBreaker CD there was a moment at 35 seconds into the song when it felt like someone was jumping on the floor behind me. This would only happen if my JPS Labs Golden Flutes were looped into the system, and it was playing very loud. Without the Golden Flutes it didn't happen. It was a truly frightening experience the first time it happened, because I was home alone. Has anyone else had anything like this occur?

Most speakers mentioned here has Non accurate bass big rounded bass altec Lansing cerwin Vega , Klipsch , these speakers at best upper 30 hz 

that’s why i mentioned  a good quality powered sub woofer if that’s what you want 

this will enhance most speakers unless you have  over $20k+ for upper quality speakers. I am torn from a decent say marten oscar trio which will do quality bass to around 30 hz , or buy a great stand mount such as the. MBL  126 stand mount with matching stands , and just buy another Svs SB 4000 sub . I have all year to ponder this for these are all in the $15k + range , I have to save my Pennies.

The Volti Audio Rivals w/ their 15” pro audio sourced woofers, while maybe only flat to 35hz, can play as loud as you want & sound great doing so in just about any size room. I have listened to Jethro Tull’s Aqualung on many good systems & thought I knew it well. Then through the Rivals w/ a good tube amp, I heard the true impact of the bass guitar & drums like never before. It was up very loud & I was both scared & cracking up at the same time. That said, Martin Barre’s guitar solo on the cut was also outstanding w/ power & body that few speakers can do at least for long. 
 

If you want the volume & dynamics of the old JBL’s, Altecs, Klipsch, Cerwin Vegas etc & the nuanced detail & imaging of good modern speakers, check them out. Imo, They’re the closet thing to live music I’ve heard at anything near a reasonable price. Their “smaller” model, the Razz, comes pretty close for less than half the $. ( about $6K vs about $15K).  Both are so much fun!!

I've shook my room and at times the house with my Moab's (2 - 12's" each) more than a few times. My wife thought the military base not far from us was detonating old ordinance (MCAAP base in OK).

They were VERY well-known for bass, but when we built a couple of cabinets for  24" Hartley woofers for the Mark Levinson HQD system, we learned what REAL bass was in a relatively small room.

No slam on CV's, but it you want REAL bass...get yourself a pretty hefty amp, of  course...

I had the Snell Type A V5 system. It was fun to bring a newbie into the listening seat and hit them with deep percussion. (18 inch subs) Even their wife downstairs would jump when the walls rattled!
