If you are talking about tight, detailed bass below 45HZ, you will need more than very sensitive speakers, you will need high quality speakers that go down into the 20HZ region, while retaining detail and dynamics from your amp, or else a high quality subwoofer, along with room treatments that eliminate the ill-effects of resonant frequencies (boominess).
For amps, my limited experience a class A SS amp with a transistor output stage will be your best bet, or else a very good 211 SET or PP amp. A 45 SET or PP might also work, depending on the size of your room.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
Follow Ups:
If the OP is really talking about "bass slam," he's probably referencing the tight, visceral bit that hits you quickly. That tends to be more in the 50 to 80 Hertz range. Anything below that will certainly be felt as much as heard, but will rumble your guts, much more than "slam" them.
High efficiency speakers are not known for "slam". Focus on the sweet spots of the amp and speaker and let the sub do the slamming. Been there.charles
