Choosing Speakers for Strong, Deep Bass: Klipsch RF 82 vs. Altus 300 vs. Zeus Rock & Others

Question

Hello, I am looking for speakers that have a very strong bass that makes my stomach feel constricted. I had the Klipsch rf 82 speakers for two years, but I sold them over a year ago, currently I have 4 columns for Sony home cinema and on some songs with strong bass but only at maximum volume...

You have high bass here and here. I understand that you expect something like you have in caraudio? I will say right away that car speakers will not work. This way you won't generate such bass at home. There are no speakers in the world that would sound the way you describe it. You need a subwoofer for this application. What is your room size?

Well, in car audio you can hear better how strong the bass is, showing how hair flutters under the influence of the bass. The room is 20 m, but if I buy stronger loudspeakers I can move them to a room about 40 m, and if you can't use car audio speakers at home, what speakers would you recommend so that there is even a little squeezing effect on the stomach and faster heartbeat. The subwoofer has a weak Sony 20 cm, and whether it makes sense to connect through the headphone jack in the subwoofer amplifier just typically to the car stereo with a built-in amplifier in the bass box and separate speakers for the house because I was also thinking about it.

e.g. something like this:

or possibly provide some other suggestions for columns and subwoofers

There is no point in inserting other columns. No column will play like this!

No. In the car, the subwoofer works in a small box (what is the volume of the car cabin?) And these pumps create high pressure. Just. The situation is completely different in the room. Big larger volume of air, walls, reflections. Here you have to get more tired.
You can buy STX W.27.500.8.FCX. Its can be tuned very low, plus a 500 watt amplifier (remember not to exceed the clip). For this adaptation of the room, i.e. curtains, rugs, etc. and this effect can be achieved.
It would be unheard of for me, I don't know for you. It may turn out that it's still not enough for you, but then you have to go to subwoofers, even stage speakers.

If this STX is not enough for you, the only thing I can think of is: http://akustyk.com.pl/p/100/171/scan-speak-32w8878t01

and would the STX 360 N speakers be a better choice than the Tonsil Altus 300 or Zeus Rock, which of these three are the best when it comes to the bass base they have?

telecaster1951 · Answer

None of these jitters will give you this effect. You had great speakers, but you sold them for KD junk.
Altus and Zeus play with high bass, with a screaming treble. In addition, the Zeus have no midrange.
STX F-360 n is total junk. Above 1kHz they play terribly! In addition, these 30 Hz is also a wishful thinking.
Don't get the mess, it's a waste of money. If you want to have the bass you are talking about, then you must have a subwoofer.

anyone has any other proposals in the budget up to 3000 PLN

I doubt it - Telecaster suggestions and advice are optimal what you can do. And answer the key question: what is it supposed to be for? - to music - or for movies If it is for music, it is very rare here to deal with a low-reaching bass, i.e. with tones below 40hz, because there are almost no instruments that produce such a low bass unless you are a fan of organ music. What you might like so much about the altuses is so-called kick-bass, i.e. the 80-120Hz band in which the band works, e.g. drums. This boost gives a very deceptive impression of 'strong and fast' bass, which is eagerly used by producers of various budgetary instructions that are supposed to make any noise. Here, it will not be about how low the loudspeakers go down, just how high the level of acoustic pressure will be able to evoke the bass you are looking for. Not necessarily the lowest bass. I don't know, maybe give us also the type of music you listen to because it sometimes helps to choose the most suitable sound of the columns. If it's supposed to be for home cinema ... well, there may be sounds well below those 40hz. And here, indisputably and irrevocably, you must have a specific subwoofer and you will not jump over it. Not and now. But the lowest frequencies are no longer fast as drums ... they are quite lazy ...

Remember that in the columns in this price league the amount of bass and its quality do not go hand in hand. Either quality or make the noise as much as possible ... Or one or the other. Therefore, before buying anything, you would have to listen to it if that's what it is.

For sure you will not overcome the requirement of woofers with the largest possible diameter - and here the problem arises because the 'cow' columns went out of fashion somewhere around the 80s of the last century and you are doomed to a subwoofer. From such 'vintage' speakers I can think of Infinity Kappa 8.2 or 8.1. But be careful. They are usually absurdly high priced - a real price for someone who wants to sell and not sell for years until a naive comes ... it's about 2500 - 3000 PLN for neat columns. And no more than a hundred.

As for the Altus (140 - 300) or STX (FX-360) - the loudspeakers of both series were created a long time ago, exactly for the same purpose: to create as much noise as possible for the least money possible. For young people who had several hundred zlotys for loudspeakers and some kind of amplifier from the PRL and the max is some Technics massager with a power of 20-40W per channel. And they wanted to make as much noise as possible. At the expense of quality, because their amplifier did not allow it anyway. Today times are different and a pretty good and powerful amplifier is no longer a problem. Avoid these products - this is a dying remnant of the time when columns were bought in a tin shed in the bazaar ...

And as you look at the new speakers from STX, know that they also make quite good equipment, but it is in the section called "Hi-Fi Hi-End". For example, Electrino 250 or FX-300, this is really a much better league. Any of them + S-250N subwoofer and who knows, won't you be satisfied? Having had the opportunity to compare a long time ago ... the bass in the 300 altuses was rumbling, while in the STX FX-300 it was much better both in terms of quantity and quality. Well, to listen to this you would have to go to Józefów. And without listening, don't take anything in the dark.

And apart from those .... well, how would I just look for used speakers and a large subwoofer from a decent company and went to listen before buying.

I once felt such an effect in a room of 40 square meters. This subwoofer was playing.

telecaster1951 · Answer

With the fact that a colleague has 3 thousand. As for me, there is no other option than to build a subwoofer on the speakers I proposed. However, it will still not be the effect that can be achieved with this Paradigm.

RMS.pl · Answer

Of course I'm aware of how much he has. I just want to point out the disproportionate expectations to the budget.

telecaster1951 · Answer

I know, that's why I wrote it so that the author was aware of how absurd his requirements are in relation to the budget he has.
