If you're looking for some punch, I would recommend getting an Hsu MBM-12. http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/mbm-12.html

They provide TONS of mid-bass slam. I had one before I had my SVS Ultras and it was amazing for music and movies. Gave you that kick in the gut feeling. If you pair an MBM up with a subwoofer that can dig well below 20Hz you will thorougly enjoy the combo.

Hey, they're top of the line and priced accordingly. Everybody who's heard the Palladiums seems to really like them, and that includes many forum members, including the handful that have bought them.

Odd as it may seem to us folks with "normal" budgets, in the high-end market (speakers, watches, cars, whatever), if something is priced too low, it's hard to sell. In certain overseas markets, some buyers weren't interested in Klipschorns because they "only" cost $7500 a pair. For those buyers, bragging rights and performance are equally important.

Back in the real world, according to the review in Stereophile, the P-39Fs are worth every penny and are just as good or better in some ways than a pair of $100,000 speakers that they were compared with.

Those are Klipsch Palladium P-39Fs and they sound great, according to all reports. They were reviewed in last month's Stereophile and were featured on the front cover, with the caption LOUD AND CLEAR.

I have many hours(and $$$$$$) invested in this very issue. Heres my 2 cents worth. I prefer the BK-carver- Sunfire-Crown option of used outboards off e-bay Audiogon- or our garage. The bang for the buck is favorable. The Emotiva or Outlaw stuff is also a great choice. IMHO I dont hear a ton of difference between brands. Any decent clean power amp will work fine. Mixing brands is not a problem-IMHO. I had a loaner set of FR 83s for a few days before diving into the Heritage stuff. The RF 83s are fantastic speakers for HT applications. But IMHO they do sound much better with a load of power 200-250-300 watts. Tried them both ways. My personal favorite is the raw power of the carver/Sunfire line. You can pick these up cheap if you are patient. I think using the marantz as a pre out/ control unit is the right way to go. I have a Sony ES but would prefer the Marantz if I had it to do over. It is my opinion that receiver power is inadequate and grossly misrepresented by the manufacturers. 5 speakers- buy 5 outboards. I think you will end up with a killer setup - given your coments.

killer is exactly what im looking for

reading threads from other sites, i came across this

IMHO, Heavy and Punchy bass are kind of an oxymoron. Generally heavy bass tend to sound boomy or muddy whilst the tightest punchiest type speakers actually sound rather bass light compared to the usual fare - that is until you crank it in which case the punchy bass sounds much more powerful and in your stomach than the heavy or plodding room vibrating "heavy" bass.

I realize this all depends on how you define heavy...

i need to feel it in me
