[QUOTE="zako, post: 7594074, member: 629735"] I am running Hybrid Audio Imagine speakers in front, in bi-amp mode. I am running clean 4x80 watts to them. I thought my old Alpines Type-R had ok bass, but these are fantastic considering the size of the speaker, and ordinary mounting depth. 6mm one way linear xmax excursion. These woofers are quite special because despite of having decent bass extension, they are also usable up to over 5KHz and require no low pass crossover! Should handle >100watts running active easily. I think the woofers alone are worth the price. The passive crossover setup is quite primitive, with some people complaining that there is no tweeter attenuation, and this is why I think these should be run bi-amp or active. If you want something similar with good passive crossovers, consider Hybrid Audio Unity, which is the same woofer, only with a dust cap, a better tweeter and crossover box. Unfortunately, they do cost a lot more ($350 vs $250). Another option is to try to find a used set of Hybrid Audio Clarus speakers. This one should blow away practically anything for its price in bass department, and still sound good in the rest of the frequency range. +3inch mounting depth though. [/QUOTE]
