Funnily enough 'Karmacoma' was one of the tracks I was going to recommend to js
to illustrate how good I think the lower frequencies can sound from a BeoLab 2
(and BeoLab 8000's). Also 'Slam' by Pendulum and 'Rutten' by Skream for faster
and more complex bass lines.

I have heard 'Karmacoma' on BeoLab 5's (and HD 650's) and the BeoLab 2
does bring the lower frequencies to the fore more than some would like.
I personally find the result can be pleasing and even exhilarating.

For pure "showing-off"purposes, I use another Massive Attack track - Angels.

Whack that up to max on your system with a pair of BL5's and see if the room can take it.

Hardly demonstrates the taunt, controlled delivery of base the original thread was implying, more a raw unadulterated power on how to destroy a building from within.

I'd recommend 'Karmacoma' by Massive Attack...

Thanks Alex...  now, I need a new sub 🙁 I guess we need to be careful what we ask for...

That song turned my BL2 into a muddy rumble... although maybe that's how it's supposed to sound 🙂.. kind of like when my mom used to complain about the distorted guitars of rock music, and we'd have to remind her that it is supposed to be that way.

Glad I don't listen to that type of music (started to give me a headache, my dog didn't go for it either)... so, for now, the BL2 stays.

😂 Sorry! If you're happy with it, keep it! It does work well with a lot of music, just not with ALL music.

Another good bassy song is LFO's LFO off the album Frequencies. Even a BeoLab 2 isn't quite capable of reproducing the bass (which is really saying something), you really need a pair of BeoLab 5s in order to be able to hear feel the bass (and it really will bring your house down if played loud).
