I've been all over the VSMs: LPS for BBAM, replacement of stock Hovland mylar caps in crossover with ClarityCap CMR, replacement of stock Caddock resistors with TX2575s and Dueland graphite resistors, bucking magnet on the 8545, silver wire inside, buffalo felt around the tweeter domes, Stillpoint footers, steel microbearing instead of sand in the cabinets. You likely won't get to any of this, but each step is a meaningful refinement.
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!
