Speakers with tight bass

I mean, if you're gonna spend a few hundred (or in some lunatics' cases (*ahem*), a few thousand!) on a pair of speakers, you might as well place them as well as you can to get your money's worth!

This is not such a FREE tweak. I know of a Lunatic Case person who lives close to Lake Okanagan and spent a few thousand dollars on a pair of Martin Logan speakers. If he tries to move those monsters as often as I have moved my speakers and subwoofers, he will have permanent back injury that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
