RE: I believe it is true for you, but clearly not for everyone else...nt

Of course load needs to be a consideration...although sensitivity not as much depending on the listening levels needed.

Personally, I wouldn't want Krell like bass unless I had a seriously underdamped speaker. With a properly damped speaker the Krells make a one-note(ish) kind of bass...more thud than texture.

I could actually simulate this when I had Infinity IRS Betas, which have variable Q in their bass controller. You could dial in super tight...way overdamped to very loose. One might argue that it was Krell bass on one side and a bad SET on the other. I found if I put a tube amp on the bass that either right at Q = 0.7 or slightly tighter was preferred but with a big SS amp I would want it closer to 0.9.
