I listen strictly to acoustic music. My LRSes do fine with acoustic bass
and the lower end of the piano. Or maybe my ears are just bad ...

Hearing failure TYPICALLY starts at the high end first.
As for the bass? Your happy? I'm happy.
But I might add that a mild applcaiotn of Sub on my 1.6s really opened things up without being over the top.
Too much is never enough
When I am in the mood to hear the distant sound of a lorry passing outside the studio, my subwoofer takes care of it fine.If best bass on this board simply = extension, I'll refrain.
But best bass -- from a musical perspective -- simply does not often require the sound of a lorry passing outside the studio.
SOMETIMES it does. But I would not sacrifice the fleetness of my LRS's to relieve my ML Depth sub of those rare duties. And for those who are curious, no there is no such thing as "timing" when it comes to the sound a passing lorry outside the studio or hall makes.
As for ambient LF, yes it exists. But again, there is no "timing" in it, so just give it to a sub.
Organ enthusiasts will have to forgive I truly can live without being able to listen to "Organ Pedal Fiesta, Volume 12!" just using my maggies w/o a sub.
LRS's are tuneful to 40hz at ~70db listening levels. If you want the stones in your medieval keep to shudder, no, won't happen.
But my room is approx 12 x 17.
Best bass..... oh brother.

My vote by a wide margin, would be the Condo/Mini 30.7 model. As it's dynamic driver's have an impact that I have not heard from the quasi ribbon, even in full 30.7 form. Not to mention I believe they play louder, not sure about lower in frequency vs 30.7s.
If you hear the Condo/Mini 30.7, at least in the room I heard them. The effect is immediate and not subtle, while having no negative side that I could discern.
The question was one of quality.
I would like to hear LRS's.
