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!

Bobby liked them around 6.5’ apart, the listener around 9.5’ from each speaker, and a bit more toe in than you might expect. Stay fairly close to that.

Also, periodically clean tarnish off the bare copper binding posts and torque down the screws on the drivers.

Dear @dumbeat: "  And thats a good thing and a bad thing. "    "  Half my library does not translate well at this time. "

I know and listened your Merlin speakers.

First time I heard the Dynaudio Esotar twetters was many years ago ( today Esotar 2 but from some years now Dynaudio is not any more a driver suplier for any one but its speakers. ) through a Sonus Faber monitor that till today was the deepest dimension of any two way speakers I never seen ( can't remember the model. ) and the hf range was to brigth/hars. This kind of characteristic I never listened in the own Dynaudio speakers designs maybe because they know exactly how to handle it. Esotar 2 is a little better but still brigth.

There is no reason for you can continue with that kind of quality level performance and if I was you what I will do is to change the Merlin's for something you already know very well ATC ones.

Merlin has that trouble no matter what. You need to change its design to achieve top level and maybe you can't get it.

ATC is one option about.

@rauliruegas

Dear @dumbeat: There is no perfect speakers or audio systems, nothing is in audio.

Maybe speakers is the more critical and delicated ling in audio system chain because it is not only from where the sound comes on but because its direct relationship with all the links in the overall audio system chain including room and each one of us music/sound priorities.

In those order of premises what for you is rigth maybe for me or other gentleman it's not.

I don't like two-way speakers because to many " compromises " but for other people are the Nirvana.

Yes, you have to make your home-work about and I hope with the success you are asking for.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
