For my tastes, the 1.6qr's have plenty of bass. They don't do anything under 45 Hz or so, but frankly I don't miss it. And the bass they do put out is extremely tight and musical. In fact the quality of the bass is one of my favorite things about my Maggies.

That said, it will all depend on your room, your music, and your tastes.

PS - Remember, the guy is working with a budget. If you don't have $30k+ to spend (and most of us don't), some tradeoffs are necessary.
