I have a great equalizer that I use on my DJ mixer before going into my amp which I can easily use to turn down the bass, so that might help not to rule out something better that might normally be to big and loud by default in a big room. So far the biggest contenders based on others' review seem to be Outlaw M8, Hsu 1 & 2, or Energy s-10.3. I've heard the Polk SW10 & 505, and dayton 10 and 12's mentioned here and there but they definitely don't seem to get as consistently good recommendations. I'll be using them with an Harmon Kardon 3490 amp, and most likely some Pioneer sp-fs52s. I just got the pios and some Polk Monitor 70 series II to try both, I'm really not impressed with the Polks, clear and accurate yes, but too cold and bass doesnt feel rich. I'm hoping the pios will be warmer to listen to, and I've heard folks recommend getting a sub for them.
