I've never been happy with a speaker that couldn't do deep bass, which excludes a lot of speakers, even expensive ones. I've never been happy with subs.The Audio Note J's I have now are specked -6db at 25Hz and if they had shallower bass I wouldn't be happy with them. I'm just thrilled with the integration of their drivers and especially their ability to be driven easily. They work well with tubes. I paid $2500, but would have to spend considerably more for a deeper-bass speaker that still has the ANJ's other qualities.
Other posters have stated that there isn't much music below 40hz, but I've found that a speaker that does well below 40 sounds a lot better anyway. Don't ask me why.
The Vandersteens seem interesting, and appear to have their following; I'd like to hear some. Might be a good choice for transistor amps.
