Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

LOTS of cone area.....

Yup Tom, IMHO if you want real bass it will require serious cone area. If you want a reasonable size it might be best to use a bass reflex. The open baffle purist might not approve but it works for me. I basically have a 3-way with a paper cone mid, compression driver/horn, and a bass reflex. I do plan to try open baffle bass sometime soon but I doubt I will be satisfied unless I am willing to have a huge baffle and at least a pair of 15"s per side.

Duke was giving good advice. They do need to be placed well out in the room. I'd say 5 feet minimum. A bass trap behind them can help. You are free to experiment of course but I haven't found it helpful to try and get bass boost from the rear wave in the same way that getting it from floor bounce helps.
