Linn Sara anyone? 

Saras and Briks would fit the bill. Briks need to be Active to match Saras in passive, in terms of prat/slam.

I’m running Baiks with 2 x REL212se pleanty of slam

My Audiovector floorstanders with Nait XS have far more 'kick' than my Ovators with 202/200/naspc/FCxs

A while ago a pair of Audience 52(?) with a a Nait 5 had similar

The common thing with the Audiovector and Dynaudio was that they were both rear ported rather than sealed like the Ovators - maybe this has an effect?

 

Most definitely IMHO. I have a pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.3's and they kick out an awful lot of bass, I gather it's a Dynaudio characteristic or maybe a trait Danish speakers tend to have? It's so strong in fact I have toilet tissue shoved into the rear ports held in by gaffer tape because the foam bungs supplied when I bought them were too much and were strangling the sound.

The Contour S1.4 is a terrific monitor. I had one but replaced it with S3.4s because I wanted more slam for large scale orchestral music. I also added a sub (REL- R-328). I have recently added another REL and replaced the Contours with Confidence C2 Platinum. Now I have everything I want in a speaker. Maybe some day I'll get a 300DR and move the whole setup to a larger room.

My Audiovectors have the port on the bottom. They have two ports at the back but they serve the tweeter.

Focal boast about their tweeter which is placed in an open enclosure, but this has been pioneered by Audiovector years ago.
