You need at least a pair of 12's being powered by about 1000W even if the volume is not that loud, to really hear what you've got.


Interesting that you say that because there's a lot of truth to that. Unfortunately, for most people, having such a set up is totally out of the question. Cost alone to get the flat response cabinet, speakers that can handle the task at hand, and the amp that can deliver the power needed to control...tightly control the cones, is out of the average home enthusiast's budget. Likely the cost for the speaker monitoring system would easily exceed by several times, the investment many folks have in their entire home studio setup.

So they are left with what they can afford.... which falls back to the small cone reflex speakers......and a sub.

But it's nice to dream.
