They sound great! I can only compare them to my old keys amp (Peavey KB300). Not as much low end (that had a 15" speaker) as that amp but I wouldn't expect that. Much easier to carry! They are not as loud as I expected, but I'm suspecting my little Behringer audio interface of not putting out a very good signal. I don't have any other pro line-level gear to compare it with anymore, but I suspect I have quite a bit of headroom left. That said, on 7 they were as loud as I could comfortably stand in my bedroom "test studio"

Perhaps they are better against a "beat up old amp" but jeeeze how much lower than 30Hz do you need to go. The E string on a Bass guitar gets as low as 41 HZ...and a 5 string even higher than 30 hz!!

listening to speakers and having them sound as good five feet away in a 240 SF room and 50 feet away in a 2400 SF room is a whole different experience and requires a whole different set of technological parameters and a huge stretch of the imagination to make that palatable not to mention a driver that can push enough air that far to deliver even an E string's fundamental frequency at 50 feet.
