so far, ATC SCM 7 or 11 look best too me, except $$$$

i have no problems with bass roll off. accuracy is always far more important to me. that's why, despite their very limited resolution, i consider NHT superzeros to be the best speakers i've owned. their sins are of omission. my energy RC-10s blew them away from top to bottom for extension and resolution, but their boomy boxes drove me nuts, and like the missions, i hated the woolier sounding bass with their ports unplugged.

i have no use for box resonances, driver resonances (eg. aluminum & planar *ping*) or ported tuning resonances (i just hate ported speakers... they sound sloppy and slow to me, but do have more weight)

the first time i heard bass i liked, it was from 4 1/2" infinity minis. i revelled at the speed and clarity saying THAT'S what a kick drum REALLY sounds like.

i'm always getting into arguments with people over ports even when i present 100 sources that point out the many distortions they induce, even from DRIVER MANUFACTURERS. i had 6 1/2" JBL porrted 2 ways, and my superzeros stomped them for bass clarity.
If it's ported, it's distorted.
