I’ve had B&W, Klipsch K-Horn, and other higher end speakers and i dont feel any of the others handled the bass response as well as the Reference 5. Sure theres a price to pay but, as with much in life if you want something better than whats readily available youre going to have to pay for it. These are worth every penny. From tonal separation to dynamic dispersion, the ability of these speakers have yet to be fully realized ss I’ve uet to break them in.
