Actually, one way to embellish and raise output of the Scanspeak 8545 mid/woofer relative to the Esotar tweeter is to add a Scanspeak bucking magnet. This doubles the 8545's magnet structure and raises output by several db-- as suggested by Tony Gee of Humble HiFi, who did this with 8545s in some project speakers. I followed him with this mod in my VSMs. Another improvement is to power the BBAM with a higher quality +/- 12V LPS than the batteries or AC supply in the stock unit.
What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?
Hi-
I am wondering what would give the most dramatic increase in bass and low mid projection/Volume, even on account of accuracy ...
My speakers can go down to 28hz but i need to boost it’s level, not frequency extension. They are 2 way with bass reflex port. 6.5" woofer size and a tweeter. Floor standing.
My floor is old hardwood strips.
placement and coupling methods are the first things that come to mind. I do not want to add an equalizer at this point.
Spikes, footers, concrete platform, direct floor flush contact? anything and everything that YOU know works.
Speculations on untested methods are not needed as i need real life experience from people.
Thanks!
