Midrange/Tweeter also known as 2-way speaker. MTM is Midrange/Tweeter/Midrange, which is 2 midranges and a tweeter. They are harder to design as crossover points need to be very low, and many manufacterers don't do them right so there is always that risk when you buy an MTM. With two midranges (bass units), you'll get double the maximum bass output and 6dB higher sensitivity. This translates to half an octave lower in bass extension.

yep that's an MTM. hmm looking at the specs, it uses small 4" drivers which is pretty weak. A 7" woofer MT should be better in all aspects. If going MTM, get one with bigger woofers

Thanks for all the help. what I want is may be a floor standing one! I feel like aborting this speaker hunt and improve my headphone system. But sound of DA100 >GS-1> S100 is very impressive even with Pioneer cheapos!

It's not fair to generalize about ported and sealed bass. The best bass I've heard has still been ported. It's all about the system. Also, extension doesn't tell you how it actually sounds playing down low.

Same with mine, they get down to about 40 Hz, after that, the response drops off greatly. Sure, I can hear down to about 32 hz just fine in these, but that's true for any bookshelf. Bottom line, if you want authoritive bass, you need a subwoofer or large speaker.

I can't not recommend my current bookshelves, though (the Klipsch B3), for $300, they put out some serious bass, almost as if there's a subwoofer in the room, but there isn't... it's quite good. But I would be lying to you if I said that a subwoofer wouldn't improve their performance. That's true for any speaker.

Anyway, good luck in your search. This kind of thing is what headphones are for!

Sorry to repeat the obvious, but, well, it's obvious: if you want deep bass with small speakers, get a subwoofer. This is kind of the reason subwoofers exist in the first place.

Only problem is I need to change my setup completely get a subwoofer in! I need separate subwoofer out and amp + subwoofer. Do I? Is there a method to insert subwoofer into this setup?

DA100 > GS-1 > S100

You can run a sub that has a speaker level input right
off the power amp binding posts at the same time
as your main speakers in many cases, as well most subs
have the ability to take a speaker-level input and
pass through the signal to the main speakers.

Are there any commercial type adapters allowing speaker out to provide an input to an active subwoofer?
Can I use my GS-1 to give an input to subwoofer? What is the loop-out is used for in GS-1?
