Bass on the M-Audio AV40 with bass boost vs BX5a Deluxe

Now my question is;

Which has more bass? The BX5a or the AV-40's with the BASS BOOST on?

 

I own the AV-40's and I'm wanting to upgrade my speakers for a long time. Now I've heart a lot of good things about the BX5a Deluxe in comparison to the AV-40 but also some contradicting stuff.

Some say the BX5a is better and has more power on all areas while I've also heart it's bass isn't powerfull enough to use without a sub.

I'm not really a basshead but without the bass boost on I find the AV-40's somewhat missing. With it on it's plenty of bass for my liking. So, how do the AV-40's with bass boost compare to the bass of the BX5a Deluxe? Which has more?

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

 

 

 

Edit:: I know there is allready a thread like this one from a year ago or so. But only one person answered anything relevant on it.

I owned both. Though I think the BX5a can hit lower frequencies, I remember my AV40 producing slightly more bass output with bass boost. BX5a is definitely not the solution for extra bass. If you dont want to add a sub, the only 2.0 speakers I know that have relatively decent bass is the A5.

I am pretty satisfied with the bass on my KRK Rokit6's. The bigger woofer definitely helps.

I'm not looking for extreme bass. The AV-40's with the boost on have a little to much (and sloppy) bass for my liking. A little less and more cleaned up is just what I'm looking for. So you would say the BX5a would deliver that?

I would say yes. I owned both the AV40 and the BX5. I thought the BX5 improved on EVERYTHING.

Sounds good so far!

Anyone of you ever have/had the BX5a in combo with the Matrix Mini-I? I'm planning on this combo because of the balanced outs.
