K2 S5800 and K2 S9800SE on sale

[4313B]

Just ordered my K2S9800SE-BG speakers......

Awesome!

Frequency Response (–6dB): 50Hz – 40kHz (Anechoeic)

needs a sub ?

Why ARRY800 specifitions(Frequency Response (-3dB): 55Hz – 40kHz) seems more superior than K2S5800?(Frequency Response (–6dB): 50Hz – 40kHz (Anechoeic)

The K2-S5800 doesn't require a sub for normal music listening. It equalizes very nicely with a typical listening room and has quite decent bottom end.

For movies, subs would very probably be desired.

So tempting news thank you,jeff!
but seems k2s9800 sold out
comparing the k2S5800 and arry 800's price, which one is more cost-effective?
How about custom tax and tranport fee outside the US?

-3db @ 60hz
-6db @ 50hz
-10db@ 28hz

it rolls of very slowly and that is a very good thing since it will blend well in a large number of different acoustic environments.

this also provides very natural sounding bass

just my opinion

Notice that 800 ARRAY -3db@55hz,seems impossible

[Valentin]

you are forgetting that these levels are measured @ 1 watt

things get allot more complicated at higher levels and small woofers just cant keep up with big ones in bass response

big woofer keep being linear to the response and small woofers just cant fiscally displace the air needed With out haven thermal and displacement distorion issues

array 800 are very nice speakers i have had them but the K2 5800 are much better performers

Good answers have been given. In my experience, there's nothing to worry about.

The K2 S9900 specs out similar to this according to JBL.(48Hz–50kHz -6dB) With proper placement, it's more than sufficient for music, except for my addiction to dance and trance with their unnatural bottom end. Even then the subs are only operating below 40 Hz and most of the time are inaudible. They're more for feel than hearing.

As stated by 4313B and Valentin, normal music does not require any help with these beauties.

Like action movies and B-movie actresses, dance/trance/hip-hop have augmented, artificial bottoms, so subs help.

Somehow I expected Array boxes to be nicer. Something like this:
