Speakers with deep base

any of the Wilson Audio speakers, or higher model B & W's, they have great bass.

Specifically, which Wilson and higher model B&W models would you recommend in the OP's $5-$7k price range?

that would be my first suggestion, and you can also find Watt Puppies, used, in that range as well.

Great bass from these speakers. I don't know what the ratings are, but when I have heard them, they go DEEEEP!

Tvad, thanks for the follow up.

Interesting, Macdadtexas. I think there are a number of possibilities from the used market, including Von Schweikert VR4 MK II and MK III (not the VR4 Jr series).

Among new offerings, I can't immediately think of any other than the AudioKinesis Planetarium Beta previously mentioned, but I'm sure I'm overlooking some obvious candidates.

Legacy Focus 20/20 or Focus HD (earlier versions had loose bottom end IMO -- 20/20 and HD versions corrected this). Big sound with abundant bass and good musicality -- very dynamic (both need strong solid state amp to control the woofs--pair with a good tube preamp and this is wonderful rig).

Slightly used Legacy Focus meet your requirements. Either two or three 12" woofers per speaker. (The older models have three per speaker, the newer ones two.) 95db/2.83v efficiency, so your watts go a long way. I don't know of any other speaker that moves as much air for the price, without a dedicated subwoofer. Pretty good sound overall.
