How is the bass response on these units? I have to eliminate my subwoofer. Would 6 of these in a 21' deliver good all around sound?

If your head unit has a pre amp it should be fine, the bass on these units are good .

They will deliver great "all around sound." But the all around sound will not be anything like the sub woofer you're replacing. Bass is often felt more then heard so a big subwoofer (bigger then 10") has the ability to move more air compared to the woofer in one of these speakers. Also the sub woofer is usually configured to only fire for sounds lower then some frequency. This allows the subwoofer to cleanly deliver the lowest vibrations that are heard and felt by the listener. The speakers in question can deliver bass but since the woofer is doing double duty by also playing mids the sound can become muddy at high levels. They will deliver great "all around sound."

Bass is very solid. I have just 4 of these in my boat with a 1000 watt bridgeable amp n the out put is awesome.can't buy a better setup.

What exactly is your question? I have a pair of these as rear surround mounted on the ceiling behind a couple of theater seats...they sound awesome..but i have a sub hooked up...ok from previous answers i gather you want to use them as rear speakers..not good idea..they are mainly surround speakers, so not very good bass response.

I've driven a jeep liberty for a while and the stock speakers in that didn't sound terribly bad to me, but these will almost definitely have better midrange and highs, whether they'll have significantly more bass I can't say, but the bass should be better defined and less muddy. If your goal is simply "more bass", then spending your money on a sub would yield better results; however, if you want clearer, more dynamic and less muddy sound, these should be a very noticeable improvement.

I haven't listened to the Klipsch 100 watt sub yet but in my opinion there is no floor stand speaker that can replace a good subwoofer. Maybe the super high end speakers but nothing I have heard yet. I own these along with a pair of 52's and 42's. I would recommend the 52's and spend a little more on a sub. Both the Klipsch 350w and 400 or 450w sound amazing. If I simplify I will be keeping the 52's over the others.

Honestly, probably not. You might get a tiny tiny bit more bass due to bigger speakers but you most likely won't notice that. I would just get these, there is no real reason to get 4 way speakers. At that point you may as well go for a full component setup.

Very little IMO. The main speaker cone has such a short travel & distorts to anything. Would work fine if you rely on a sub woofer as you main source of bass. I purchased them because of the great reviews & feedback by most who said they provide excellent bass. If you're relying on these speakers for bass, I'd go a larger size if I were you & go the Alpine route if you can pluck down an extra $15-$20 as you indeed get what you pay for.

No I love the system but I think the sub woofer contribution is minimal.overall the low end performance is great.However to acheive nominal sound you must have the bass boost engaged

bass response will depend on your players eq settings, your earbud size, and the volume you listen at...clarity is great w/ dynamic range that goes as hi as 23K Hz. these are not designed as "extra bass" headphones per say (sony has other models that are sold as such) but when properly configured the 13.5mm drivers of these dish out plenty.see my other review for more details...

While I hesitate to give answers on these types of questions because there are some serious audio snobs out there but here we go... I have the entire set (center and rear surrounds as well as fronts) and I love them. They are crisp and clear. A good friend has the Bose speakers and we both prefer the sound of my system. That said, the rooms are different and speaker wire and receiver... are all different. I assume you're pairing them with a sub because they lack deep punch on their own. Long story short - I love mine. I compared them at electronics stores as well to Polk and Bose - and they sounded better to me, as well as the sales guys there. Hope it helps.

Any answer is really subjective. I found them to be OK. But, I still added a subwoofer and that combination seems to work fine. They are in a fairly large room and at opposite ends of the couch in that room. The sound you get is quite nice and really fills the place up. The room is also carpeted. I listen to a lot of systems, play music and listen to studio monitors. These are fine for a home system without spending a fortune.

I use these as my left and right speakers in a surround sound system. I am no audio technician by any standard but it takes a little while for the speakers to "loosen up" to reproduce good sound ranges. Once they are broken in, about a week or so, they have very good midrange and acceptable high-end response. Bass is a little weak on these, but if you are using it in a home theater your subwoofer will take up the slack on that. that being said, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them again, they are very good speakers for the price.

they are good, but i don't listen to bass heavy music. and i also use a subwoofer to handle all low end for my personal setup. amazing speakers for the price point.

They have a passive crossover, as well as amp for passive speakers...I have 6 active speakers and 4 of these subwoofers, and they sound amazing.

I like them. But, I like them a lot better with a separate subwoofer. I have a theater set up with two sets of these and a Polk subwoofer. I do like my all-Polk system better, but it was also more expensive.

For their size they have good bass. Keep in mind you will never have window rattling lows from any speaker this size. I am very content with them. Get yourself a subwoofer if you really seek thump.

I think they sound amazing. I also use a separate subwoofer to add that low end bass.
