I have recently compared my set-up of my main speakers employing 6" drivers and 2 subs with 15" drivers, with my brothers 'dj' set up which use's 2 Peavey 12" drivers! Now quality aside ( my set up has far more finesse ) his system definitely had more slam and scale. When it came to outright bass slam and scale, mine easily came out on top. So i'm thinking that 'slam and scale' is more a mid-range thing as well as just outright bass! The hit of a snare drum for instance was more visceral on the Peavey speakers.
Then i thought, his system can go much louder than mine,so is the 'slam and scale' thing due to how loud a system can go as well??
