One man's "best bass" is another's "that's a piece of crap"...
Having said, I can say that the "best bass" that I have ever heard was a Hartley 24" subwoofer in a transmission-line cab between a pair of Sound Lab panels at my mentor's house. The bottom end out of that combo (can't remember the amp driving the Hartley) and the record playing (Mickey Hart's Dafos, and the track, "The Gates of Dafos") was enough to not only rattle us, but crack the plaster on the wall behind them!
YMMV.

Hi and that Hartley 24" subwoofer is huge indeed
I can believe that the bass was immense
I have no hopes to be able to place in my room
I have to stick with more human speakers.
But i understand the size does matter.
Kind regards,

Wish I could remember which models the Sound Lab speakers were. They were huge, floor to ceiling jobs, driven by my Mentor's own tube amps- 150 watts, Class A SET, Dual mono monsters (four chassis- 2 audio only and 2 PSUs!)!
The source was one of the upper end Micro-Seiki 'tables (something-1500?), Fidelity Research Arm, and (IIRC) either a Monster or Ortofon MC. Preamp and step up were his own designs as well (all tube of course, even the MC stage).
The only other recording I heard on that system was a Virgil Fox record (Crystal Cathedral?). Bottom end down to 7hz. IIRC...
