Some good points raised here. But don't forget that your listening room also plays a major part in the speakers' presentation. My 5200's are in an 18' x 15' lounge and they certainly don't lack bass. The best advice is to demo a pair (if you can) in your room then you will be sure that they either do or don't do what you want. Good luck. smile
