Is this a good system for college apartment parties? Is there good clear sound and deep room shaking bass?

No. It has nice crisp sound, but this is a small shelf stereo. Plenty loud, but the bass ain't going to shake anything. Strong bass requires speakers with a large woofer, or a sub-woofer. Not a "party" stereo. Great little system for the money, though.

Got it for my Brother-in-law and haven't heard it yet. He seems to like it. Just no cd player.

I like mine. It performs well and, in my opinion, it's worth the money. However, if you're expecting the kind of sound described in your question, I think you are going to have to spend more money for something more powerful. Good luck.

I would say if you are listening in a bedroom or study area and not trying to crank the volume, you should be fine. I use mine with multiple speakes in my study and get a full and dynamic sound out of floor speakers at pretty decent volume levels

I think it sounds pretty good and would compare it to many of the sound systems of the 80s ... I get good stereo; it's dolby and digital ... I wouldn't consider this item a top of the line Audio System ... There are better sound systems around, depending on your budget ... The question is do you need a more expensive system ??? ... I have a DVD player hooked up to this and my music CDs play just fine ... The stereo and surround sound quality are pretty good especially since I hooked the satellite speakers behind the couch and the remote woofer on one side of the couch ... Visio makes more expensive systems if you are looking for more and of course, you could always by a Bose System ... My opinion is unless you are a true audiophile, this system is good enough whether you are watching an HD Movie or listening your favorite CDs ... I'm satisfied ... Hope this info is helpful?

Hi Robert- as a musician, I would say sound quality and ambience with this speaker are very good. If your party is just a fee kids, it might be loud enough for background music, but if it's a larger group and/or the kids are looking to dance, I would advise something with at least double or triple the wattage rating of this unit. Cheers,

No. Subwoofers make things shake. These are the lowest quality speakers you can buy. Well...about the lowest. But these are not made for people who care how the music sounds. You just use them and they squawnk out sounds. Drunk people generally don't even notice how bad they sound.

The bass is quite decent and full sounding considering that they are suppose to be for accurate studio monitoring. You can hear the lows, mids, and high all quite nicely. If you want something a bit more on the bassy side you should check out Audio Techinca's Bass Solid line of headphones, name is pretty self explanatory.

There is no such portable Bluetooth speaker device on earth right now that can replicate true low end bass sound. That being said the UE serves its purpose as a convienant ,versital , decent sounding speaker at a fair price. If you want awesome sound for your electronic/trance/drum and bass music for a cheap price you should invest in a modest priced receiver and try the Pioneer Andrew Jones line of bookshelf or tower speakers. Bar none the best sounding speakers that are ridiculously priced low. They beat out $1000.00 plus speakers which is simply amazing.

I've never heard the Marantz consolette. I am obsessed with sound, and I read countless reviews on this. The most helpful advice I can give is that it is not sufficient to have as your main living room stereo, in a larger, more open room. That being said, I have brought this on 3 vacations to houses in Montauk, brought it to afterhours at my buddies apartment, who has a smaller living room, and it currently sits on my bedroom dresser. The sound is the best I've ever heard from a portable(ish) dock type unit. The lows are very crisp, it is accurate, and it far exceeds what any normal person would need for most rooms. Even in my living room, it's fine, as long as I don't have a full house of people and I don't try to make it the only source of sound for a party. I would HIGHLY recommend this unit.

I love the sound. It's loud enough for a decent sized room to get lost in the music but not for a big party or get together

In my opinion this speaker is ideal for a backyard party. If you are at a beach where the sound will have to compete with ocean waves in a completely open space, this is not the best option. You may need to rent a full sized sound system. Consider powering it with a generator. That way you won't wonder if the music is loud or clear enough. After all, you do want the music to be great for your event. Happy wedding!

I never actually tried the z623's in person, but I can tell you the Klipsch's have loads of bass. I keep the subwoofer under my desk and I usually keep the bass level around 25% and that's more than enough. I've turned up the bass and volume all the way up and my windows rattle (my desk is really heavy and sturdy so it would extremely hard to make it shake). If you're planning on using these in a dorm or an apartment you will probably get a noise complaint - you've been warned!

I wouldn't use these as a primary source (for that I'd use a Bose sound-dock), but they would be good enough to fill a hotel room, but not a house. That said, they are loud enough for a family BBQ, but if it pumping bass you need, then look else where my friend. Wife and I often listen to Deadmau5 in the house and its plenty loud enough for us. We rarely get to crank it up to full, so its loud enough for us. At this price take the plunge, you will be astonished that so much sound comes out of something so light and little.

I have done several gigs with these speakers I have one set of two and have been pleased with the sound the sound at high levels will be ear piercing I keep my mixer at less than half and get good results Like any speakers you put the higher than the crowd they will be heard throughout the room but to anser your question if it will sound good with 800 people I would say if this is your only source of sound u may be disappointed You will need at least two subs for the bass

If you are looking for a cheap sound system that can be used for a house party, computer or tv then this is it. Since the sub speaker is facing down, placing it on a sturdy table in an open area would eliminate any rattling. This system actually makes my walls shake and I can still hear the lyrics. That's more than I was expecting for $30.

Absolutely. This unit provides nice clean bass. Would be great for smaller room.

Depending on how big your house is. But they do have a really good sound along with volume but you might want to look into something bigger and better if you are having a big party.

A small to medium room will do well with this product--my living area is around 18x14, and the subwoofer, when cranked all the way up FILLS the living area with rich bass and smooth highs (Pacific Rim was rattling everything). For the money this is a steal that's hard to beat. Also keep in mind to break the subwoofer in gradually (2-4 weeks) of light to medium operation--afterwards you can turn the gains up and experience awesome satellite music and movies:~)
