Oh and they do bass, 38Hz +/- 2dB freefield and go very loud 120dB IOW no compression at normal listening levels.Other niceties are the ability to finetune bass and treble to your taste, you can even finetine the input sensitivity to match your chosen preamplifier. I do not know whether your wife will approve of the looks but I think she will approve of the sound.
38Hz @120db,is that what you are saying?
