On my work machine I have Celestion Ditton 10 speakers, which are very small monitors from the mid 1960s. They do sound sweet, but with a 5" driver and no tuned port they really don't have any bass thump at all. I guess they could be an indication of what the bass would sound like on other small speakers though. I knew a band who used to keep a crappy tape player in their studio, the portable kind that has built-in speakers either end. When they'd finished a mix, they would run off a cassette copy and play it back on this machine to see if it still sounded good. (In those days that was the kind of equipment that a typical teenage music lover would own - I guess now the equivalent would be a portable MP3 player with nasty in-ear headphones...) Cheers Daniel
