It's all about the bass

[gasolin]

yes it's me again

Tried my sub again and used it for a while with the bass port covered, the extra bass extention is nice

I just want the extra bass comming from my front speakers

I can have many active studio monitors Mackie Mr824,adam T7v or T8v, yamaha hs7 all of them are not expensive,have deep bass and can play louder than most hifi speakers like dali oberon 3 or my speakers

if your budget is low and you want new "passive" speakers, i can only think of one pair of speakers

Monitor audio Bronze 100, 8" woofer, 110 db 52 hz free space in room 37hz -6db

Under 400 euros for a pair

Why hasn't other brands made something similar, speakers with power,bass without costing a furtune, studio monitors, yes theres a much bigger selection but they are active, i have an amplifer i would like to use


For more power, higher sensitivity or bigger speaker with just about the same sensitivity as my current speakers but higher power handle so it sounds cleaner when playing loud (higher limit) and to get speakers that can handle more bass when listning either to edm or loud or even both ?

Im kind of going for the last, since higher sensitivity (if you don't like klipsch) often is pa speakers, with 60 hz being lowest rated bass extention for the best pa speakers at a low price but then it's like 99% of all pa speakers is with a 10-12 or 15" woofer, which is to big for my desk and a desk in general

What is the point of having higher sensitivity if the speaker can't play deep bass and you want bass from the front speakers not a subwoofer you have to struggle to integrated perfectly (with no high pass filter for the fronts) ?

How good is the Ma bronze 100 for nearfield,bass and high spl ?

Any alternative ?

Not everyone needs or wants bass quantity or depth (or both). Plus, the more bass a speaker produces, the more likely it is to ignite room issues, which could be a bigger issue in smaller rooms.

The bigger the bass driver, the more it costs to make, so to fit within a budget, quality (and maybe even reliability) may have to be sacrificed. I remember the Wharfedale Modus and Valdus speakers from the late 90s - standmounts and floorstanders under £200, lots of bass, pretty loud, but reliability was 50/50, and they weren't the best for sound quality. They were just impressive enough for quick burst demos with bassy material. We'd play Check One by Leftfield, and you were guaranteed the sale.

If you prioritise a good sensitivity and nice easy impedance load, you sacrifice bass extension with standmount speakers. Higher quality speakers benefit from better engineering, but they're a more demanding load because the impedance/sensitivity etc is secondary to the frequency range/response. PA speakers are purely about SPL, which means other aspects suffer.

Dali oberon 3 is not that expensive but sort of ahh when reading reviews, it's not a bass heavy speaker, size is between a ma bronze 50 and 100 (should be a good match for my amp)

A little hard to find big bookshelf speakers for a low price

Wharfedale diamond 12.2 okay price, Mission LX 3 MKII don't have alot of bass

I think most people will likely choose a floorstander over a big bookshelf speaker - smaller footprint and less bulky looking, and more acceptable in the shared home. Higher up the price ladder it's not so bad, as they tend to be less fussy about looks, and generally have larger rooms to lose them in.

Space limits and don't wanna have a subwoofer

Not just one click and a sub sounds perfect

I think most people will likely choose a floorstander over a big bookshelf speaker - smaller footprint and less bulky looking,

Than why are there so many big bookshelfs, stand mount studio monitors like adam T8v,m-audio bx8 d3,yamaha hs8,kali audio LP-8 2nd,focal alpha 80 evo and many more

Manufacturers like to cover possibilities. Some may have more sales success with larger standmounts than others. Some of the big boys have global markets to satisfy,

Oh this is so true, be careful of what you wish for.
