RE: mangepan 20.1 audition

I certainly have not attempted to measure the low frequency extension of 20.1s but they will play quite quite deep and with some impact given careful set up and the right amps. If you want bass extension AND impact IMO you are looking at something on the order of Bryston 7B-SSTs, Parasound JC-1s, McCormack DNA-500, etc. The only tube amp set up I have heard that approached the huge SS amps was biamped with the ARC VT200 on the bottom and the VT100 on top but that still didn't have quite the same shake factor.

With the right amp the bass from the big SoundLabs is very impressive.
