Although a real newcomer to this forum I am struck with the nunber of threads from posters who find the bass response of their systems to be lightweight or lacking in depth.
With that in mind I am going to recomend a relatively low cost option that will, in virtually all situations, satisfy the need for a powerful bass response.
Those of a nervous disposition should look away now...... :hand:

The smaller HR624 model should be sufficient for most users and with a street price of around £700 it is very affordable considering it includes 100 + 40 watts of onboard amplification.
For larger rooms (or serious 'bassheads') the HR824 offers a bigger 8 inch bass driver and a monstrous 150 + 100 watts of amp power, more expensive but they can still be found under £1000.
You will need a source and some kind of volume control but that's it, properly mounted and set up these speakers are in a different world from the usual hi-fi components regularly featured on this forum.
