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!

Ordered the Schiit Loki 4 band EQ.
Maybe -1 or -2 db at 2k and +1 or +2 db boost at 400 or 20hz(which actually starts at 300hz) would correct the system to sound more to my liking... Ill report back...

Trying to eq with several $5,000 cables sounds a bit far from my definition of sanity...

dumbeat, check out Shunyata cables for starters. They put their data up for the world to see. 

If you want to read about evidence for God, start with Michael Behe's classic Darwin's Black Box.

If i were you id go read Dawkins for evidence of lack of god therefor...;) but your taking us to a whole different topic here my good man;) beliefe is not something i need to share with anyone and it is as personal as personal can be- non transferable. Its evidence i need when it comes to frequency response...

I want to see an eq curve of several cables done by the same test on the same equipment in the same session done by a third party non affiliated, I do not care for what a manufacturer publishes, as much as i don’t believe Enron...;)

A good speaker cable that may give you a little deeper and more solid bass is the Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme original. It costs about $640 new.  You will probably find used ones at about $400.  The newer Matrix is more than twice as expensive if new vs. new but will be more detailed and transparent. The original will sound like you added some bass and made it more articulate also. I have a pair and they did that to my ribbon speakers. Was using an all silver wired cable prior.
