Are you looking for bass that ruffles your pants legs, and stuns small animals and children!
The bass from planar speakers is natural and tuneful, not like rock bass through a box speaker.
Try listening to a standup double bass or cello in a real concert hall for comparison.
Adding subwoofers to the big magnepans give a noticeable shrinking of image, from 6 feet tall (image with a full range maggie) too a short bass image of a box speaker.
I hate that!

And the subs make this music much more like hearing it live, in a church. :-))
I have an LP of organ music which, just as a filler, has a track with 16Hz, 12Hz & 8Hz tones recorded (the latter from a 64' pipe!).
I can clearly hear the 16Hz tone but - although the cantilever wiggles from side to side with increasing amplitude - cannot hear the 12Hz or 8Hz tones.

You must have super natural hearing abilities to actually "hear" 16Hz......... "feel" it, yeah, for sure. It would be exceptional for a healthy 20 year old to actually hear anything under 20Hz, let alone someone of a higher age group.
