Currently looking at them...My mate has F15s which are full range. He says he puts them on stands and they sound great...Am not convinced (without hearing them) that the bass will thump on a stand..

Also looking at F10`s with S15`s...

Can anyone share their thoughs please.

If you stand a speaker on the floor, the bottom end is within 1/4 wavelength of itself, which means it effectively 'couples' with itself (you get a free 3db for nothing, due to the mirror image of itself created by the floor plane)

Raising the speaker from the floor means you lose this effect. Placing a speaker on a stand back against a wall means you get that 3db from the back wall, put it in a corner and you get another 3db from the side wall too. Try placing a sub in the middle of a room and then putting it in a corner on the floor. Notice the difference? The more surface are in contact with the floor, the more you benefit also, so laying a tall bass bin on it's side gives greater returns.

If you really want bass thump then a dedicated, floor mounted bass/sub box is the only way.

made a post on these a few months ago.....asking if a single set of these can be powerful enough for vast majority of gigs

Do away with the 2 bass bins and just run these babys maybe with one bass bin

awesome sound I believe, but need a controller i think? and an amp obvoiusly

There is a bar near me which uses just 3 Martin Audio F8s (nothing else) run though a controller, and they sound amazing. They are wall mounted high up and still give off a lot of bass.

have never been able to fault the quality that martin audio produce. The sound quality is fantastic. Its the price tag that puts me off buying them! !
