Have you tried stuffing something (like a sock) in the port to cut down on the speaker's bass contribution?
Booming bass from WP6
Why do I have this problem?
ML 432 amp
ARC Ref2 Mk2 preamp
Esoteric DV50 CD
HT-Pro 9Plus SC
Analysis Plus Interconnect.
Live in a condo 300sqft - listining room - woodfloor.
Been told my WP's too big for room- Kharma 3.2 recommended instead, but auditioned them and found sound too etchy...
Advice please..

Iujona, in the long run it might be cheaper and more effective to contact rives http://www.rivesaudio.com and see if the room can be fixed up enough to allow you to keep a really good pair of speakers. It would be a shame to see you see the WP6 if you didn't absoluely have to sell them. I have talked to Rives and they really know their stuff. The room makes soo much difference in how the speakers sound. Usually fixing the room is the cheapest option. |
Iujona, More encouragement to experiment - I have full range speakers, w/a -3db point of 28hz, in a 263sq ft room (13.5x19.5x9) and I do not have boomy bass, unless you call a 5db hump at 32hz boomy. Lots of listening, testing and mapping (and moving stuff about) produced some excellent results. It can be done unless the room's dimensions (not the square footage) are working against you ............. |
