His band uses subs as well, don't they?

It's all about volume. Up to a certain point, even a 1" speaker is flat... Heck, even tiny earbud headphones claim frequency responses down to 30Hz or lower. But they have to be VERY quiet and VERY close to your ears.

I'm not saying the 802's are inadequate. But until Sunny specifies what volume and what bass response is needed, surely it's best to wait for more info is provided before a blanket recommendation is given?

Are you using 802's Donny? Surely, if good enough for a blanket recommendation without any info, they would be good enough for you for ALL circumstances as well?
