Studio monitors that are loud and have a lot of bass for under 3500 Euro?

[lowkeyoperations]

Try to find a used pair of Event Opals. Those things can smash out 120 dB with 1000w of built in amp. With a sub they would kick serious a$$.

There’s a few pairs on eBay and reverb below your budget.

Event Opal

Looks like a pretty nice monitor but didn't see it mentioned around here. What are your thoughts about it?

^didnt see you already ruled them out. They sound like the perfect fit.

Alternatively some used Barefoot Footprint 01s. They have 500 watt amps on the bass drivers and can go loud.

But not as loud as the Opals.

 

[lowkeyoperations]

PMC iB1s are really loud but maybe out of budget even used.

But Quested 3208s could work. Dual 10” woofers. Loud. But passive so need an amp.

 

[Chevron]

for $4000 you get the S360. I don't think it makes sense to go for less only for "a few bucks"

Thanks I will look in to those

The S360 are $4000 each.
Maybe if you can find used.

I think

Genelec 1032
JBL LSR6328

I’ve owned both of these…6328p’s play pretty loud but not very deep. (-3dB 46hz).
The 1032’s play very loud but roll off pretty steep below 40hz.

am looking for a secondary set of monitors that MUST BE LOUD, client pleasers, have deep bass, lots of sub 35 Hz and are under 3500 Euros.

I haven't seen anything recommended so far that meets this criteria other than use subwoofers. The monitors mentioned even the PA speakers without PA subs will not do high SPL under 35Hz. You would need the big Genelec main monitors as one example.

For instance the Genelec S360 spec

Frequency Response​

39 Hz - 19 kHz (± 2 dB)

Low cutoff -6dB
36 Hz

High cutoff -6dB
22 kHz

How is that lots of sub 35Hz that must be loud?

The others mentioned are about the same.

Today I performed measurements of the Genelec 1032A speaker. This is a model dating back to 1992, and it is the largest 2-way model made by Genelec. It is also the model I'm using as LCR in my small home theater room. The most recent version is the 1032C so in a way, despite it being a 28 year...

40hz - very deep as for me. I don't know why normal people would need a lower frequency

 

[crappypanther]

Eve Audio SC208 also very bassy monitors. But, also not lower than 40 Hz

 

[MEGB1262]

Beside the price completely out of reach, these pair of speakers would work - you can try to find something similar - 12 inch bass + Eighteensound XT1086 horn + high quality 1 inch compression driver

Well, that's an O'fer for my recs, which is OK. I would add that the Boenicke speakers I have heard were brilliant. And I have always been a fan of Sonus Faber. I heard the top Revel model at an audio show a few years ago and it sounded fantastic. I'd also say the same about Magico...

A sub would be needed. Not sure if Eve would be enough. He would have to try. But a good PA sub (or possibly second sub) with decent PA speakers could get the SPL required in this price range. Wouldn't go much deeper than 35hz though with PA sub.

Thanks, and no worries appreciate the suggestions and info.

I remember the first time I tried the Opals in our studio, the volume and bass response was very impressive. As I said, just fearful of the reliability.

I did check out the Barefoots thanks, look like a very good option!

The KH420 can not deliver deep bass and high SPL? The specs suggest otherwise.

I am looking for a secondary set of monitors that MUST BE LOUD, client pleasers, have deep bass, lots of sub 35 Hz

The KH420 can deliver about 7dB to 10dB more spl in the bass compared with the Genelec 8351. Below 35Hz they fade out at about 30Hz. So if that is enough for you? I wouldn't spend that money for the relatively small difference. Since you can get two very good subwoofer which you can even crossover at about 200Hz if you use them as stands for you Genelec which will result in much higher spl in the bass and much deeper bass. Then you can store two profiles one which is very flat in the bass which you can achieve thanks to the big headroom of the subwoofers and a more fun profile where the bass is a bit louder and you got your high spl show of client sound.

I would only spend this amount of money on different speakers which delivers a very different sound signature or much more spl. Like a speaker with narrow directivity. High quality PA speaker like some from Alcone, Meyer Sound, Kling & Freitag, KS Audio or many other "high end" PA brands sound very good and different compared with a typical studio monitor and with Trinnov it will easily get a very flat frequency response and become neutral enough.

Maybe some studio speakers like the Monkey Banana Silver Back or the KSD C100 are the right decision if you like to have a speaker which is made for the exact thing. But you can't expect deep bass from those.

Just to add another angle, a powerful active hifi speaker like this: https://www.nubert.de/nupro-xs-8000-rc/a042455 might also do a good job. Although I cannot find any SPL specs.

A pair of krk 10.3 monitors plus a pair of krk 12s 12 inch subwoofers should go deep and loud.
