Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

"Oh, efficiency doesn't matter"

203.11.167.2

If efficiency doesn't matter, and since you like acoustic suspension speakers, the solution seems to be straightforward.

Get two mid-Qts 15" pro bass drivers with low Fs, and good midbass preformance. Build two sealed cabinets 200-300 litres in size.

...and you're sorted.

You'll probably have about 95dB efficiency and a -3dB point of maybe 45Hz, but that's heaps for what you need: rock/jazz/folk music in a moderately-sized room.

"I really want tight, punchy, articulate bass with some slam"

==> punch and slam are about the midbass. You don't need a 30Hz bottom end to give rock music punch and slam. Live rock shows (almost always) use sound systems that roll off above 30Hz.
