When matched with my 8 ohm, 88db sensitive speakers (in a small room, mind you), the i84 provided extremely full and hard hitting bass that made for a true delight when listening to electronic mu-zak. Faithless, Hybrid, Dj Tiesto, Lemon Jelly, Chicane, ATB, Sphongle, Daft Punk, etc - all hit with hard and deep.
