Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: best speakers under $500 (including used & kits)

ABSOLUTELY!!! i'll trade bass QUALITY for QUANTITY EVERY TIME!

in fact, it was the SPEED of the bass challenged infinitys, pictured, that drove me out of their minds. resonances just don't sound right to me at all. they make speakers sound like speakers whereas those little "$100 giant killers" totally disappeared and sounded more natural than anything i'd ever heard before, and i'd heard $1,000+ towers etc.

that's why my handle is "thump"... i like tight bass much more than big resonant bass which actually gives me a headache. i probably PREFER rolloff too, unless i'm dancing and want to feel it.

to ME, the "bass hated" smaller maggies are my "ideal subwoofer". i just love how detailed and unboxy they sound in the bass that snaps faster than ANYTHING.

i'd think being an avowed minimonitor lover would imply i'm OK with light bass. i used my superzeros a long time without a sub and never bothered with my 5 1/4" missions and energys.

if a mini is extremely bass limited... well that's what subs are for. when i'm renting my own house and no longer sharing walls, my ultimate system would be sub/sat
