Bookshelf Speakers that hits you in the chest with it's bass ....
- Thread starter Rajkumars
- Start date
Play bass on my speakers, it will be thumping my chest. Play it on my sub and it will be thumping mine and my neighbors chest.
Like all things in Audio, I think what constitutes chest thumping bass also varies from person to person.

Rajkumar,
Are you missing bass even with sub ? Give some example of music you listen to that is missing bass. Mostly Floorstander with couple of LF drivers will have good bass. Bookshelf is very doubtful. Any reason you want only bookshelf to do this duty ?
Regards.
It can be remarkable at the amount of bass some people like. I have tuned some cars where the owner has asked for so much bass impact that beyond a point you start feeling the music through your bones than your ears.
The real challenge in such a scenario is to get the optimum enclosure for the sub to ensure the cones remain within the xmax and the bass still blends with the front stage and does not remain isolated.
For someone not used to it, it can often be an unnerving and also an exhilarating experience on a short listen.
That kind of bass…short listen is the only listening possible.
A lot of young people with cars seem to like it. Not sure how much of it is for the attention it gets from others and how much for enhanced musical pleasure. Contemporary music like Rap, hip hop and electronica all have prominent bass lines or beats. The big question for me is about the fatigue- how long can I stand it.
Everyone does not have the same understanding of what is good bass: https://audiophilereview.com/subwoofers/what-is-good-bass/

It takes a couple of hours to detoxify for the non intended
In homes turning down the main speakers and cranking up subwoofer will do that. Nothing wrong in that but then it will be personal choice. I mean more bass than actual recorded.
True, but in a car it is a different story, because beyond a point, the entire car behaves like one big enclosure and you are within its boundary stuck to the seat. Secondly with so many plastic/PVC and resonating surfaces, one can truly get a super massage as high spl sub levels.
Here watch the famous hair trick which is a big competition in the US for sub implementation.

An used one can be less. Or can look at alternative or pro studio monitors.
@Rajkumars what is your room size bass response depends on the room too. A well treated room is also important.
I consider the bass of my Quad S2's as enough for the kind of music that I listen to. But this bass is too much for my mom and she says it gets her heart pounding. I normally never play music loud enough to get her heart pounding because if it does, it will end up getting my heart pounding.
I am going to play a recorded music on my S2's. I don't listen to this kind of music, not that there is anything wrong with it though. Played for testing my speakers and for the general entertainment of our members who are free to comment on the bass or lack of it. Not to worry, your thoughts will not hurt my feelings
Pardon the speaker stacking as my dear half won't let me install my front heights at the right place.
Recorded on my phone which is not the ultimate in recording devices.

I guess that chest thump comes from good transients and high SPL.

Bass that "hits you in the chest" does so by resonating the chest cavity, the resonance for which is around 130Hz. To excite said resonance you need sufficient amplitude. To note that the effect is a wideband effect in actual content as such the wideband signal must be reproduced with level and coherence in time.

I find bass from B&W 602S2 is just optimum to shake your body without a decay to chest or ears. It's very very powerful.

I own a pair of Q350's. They are forward sounding speakers with neutral tonality and a good amount of bass. Their best aspect is their imaging and soundstage capabilities. They sound much bigger than their size suggests and does very well with most modern music genres.
As far as bass goes, a lot of it depends on your room acoustics and where you position them. For me personally I would say the Q350's have a satisfying amount of bass but I wouldn't call it subwoofer like chest thumping bass.
