Hello, I'm currently researching speakers. I already have Sony SS MF415, and I'm looking to buy additional ones to play sound very loud, with good quality sound. That's my current desire, after seeing LG CM9730 in action; I want pure sound, even with very high bass... I've noticed that on Amazon, speakers with a power over 2000w are priced below 200 euros, could you advise me? I'm not knowledgeable about this... Thanks in advance

The Luxman amp is no longer available =(. Too bad, I'll keep all this advice in mind, I'll keep searching.
Thank you very much Char Snipeur and sawsix, and have a good day!

Look inside your speakers to see if there is acoustic foam; if there isn’t, you can add some to achieve a warmer sound. However, it’s clear that with an amplifier that can deliver more power, it can only get better!
Hi,
A "pure" sound means a "neutral" tone.
I think you're looking for the opposite, a very saturated "dry" sound, where the bass is emphasized.
In that case:

When I was younger, I saw this kit in action and the subwoofer made double glazing vibrate!
However, be careful, at high power this kit can cause tinnitus.
If you want a hi-fi system, there's this one, it delivers just as well as the kit:

P.S.: there are 2 additional speakers.

Hello sawsix, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to me. It's indeed interesting, but first, I would like to know if this type of speakers is what I am looking for:
https://www.electronic-star.fr/Sono-et-Lumiere/Sonorisation/Enceintes-de-sono/Enceintes-et-haut-parleurs-passifs/Skytec-Paire-d-enceintes-sono-passives-2x-15-LED-bleu-2000W.html
I'm basically looking for similar equipment to this:
https://www.lg.com/fr/lg-xboom/lg-CM9730
I want to be able to output sound with big "boom boom" at a high volume. The speakers I already have produce 400W, so that's already quite good. Now, is wattage significant for maximum volume, quality, or both?
Thanks again, see you later

The LG chain consumes a maximum of 180W, or 30Wrms per channel, which is far from the 2300Wrms claimed by LG; even worse, in other countries they advertise 25000Watts.
The so-called Skytec sound speakers are not what they claim to be and are very expensive for such poor quality.
First of all, what is the brand and model of your amplifier?

Alright! Actually, I have quite an old Hi-Fi system, a Philips FW 396C (this model:
http://www.google.fr/...) which I connect to my computer, (which serves as speakers for the computer)
And my speakers are Sony SS Mf 415 (this model: http://www.google.fr/...)
So, apparently I must not have understood what watts are.. I thought that the more watts the speakers had, the louder the sound could be!
How can I proceed then?

If you’re looking for real sound system speakers, I haven’t found better:

Thank you very much, I will see, but can you explain to me what watts correspond to? Does my amp use the 400 watts of my speakers?

The speakers have an acceptable power, meaning they can absorb a certain number of watts.
The acceptable power is expressed in Maximum Watts
The effective power is expressed in RMS Watts
Some brands indicate max watts while it actually refers to peak watts... this is a marketing power (to sell better).
A good quality stereo amplifier of 100Wrms per channel under an 8ohm load with low harmonic distortion should consume at least 600Watts max.

Oh yes, okay, it's a bit clearer, thank you very much! And the equipment I have, is it good?

Well, before changing speakers, it's better to equip yourself with a very good amplifier because the Philips sound system won't deliver good sound..
A very good cheap amplifier:

Hi.
If the goal is to maximize low frequencies, an interesting alternative solution is to add a subwoofer to the system.
To complement what sawsix is saying, the maximum sound that a speaker can deliver depends only on its efficiency and its power handling. There's no link between power and quality!

I recommended that because he was also talking about changing speakers. On the other hand, he does have columns, so it shouldn't be too weak in the bass department. In general, the lower end of the frequency range for speakers is around 50Hz.
It's clear that with a good amplifier, the bass should already stand out better. If that's not enough, I'll go for a subwoofer.

Thank you Char Sniper, I called the seller of the Luxman amplifier, no response.. Do you have any references for good quality amplifiers other than that one to look for? And last question, my speakers connect with bare wires, can this type of connection be used on any amplifier?
Thanks again everyone

Hi.
No example of an amplifier. Stripped wires are standard (but not necessarily universal). But don’t worry about that, an adapter will do the trick.
The issue with musical quality is that there are no reliable numbers to measure it. On the other hand, there are figures for poor quality: an amplifier with a rise time greater than 6µs is not great, and if the distortion is greater than 0.1%, that's not good either (low distortion can, however, be caused by high negative feedback, which is also not a good sign) etc.
What I do is look for amplifiers within my budget range, and I search the internet for reviews and listening reports.
