There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think

AMTs, not true ribbons.

Note though that they are cuts, not boosts. The point of the post was the speaker + room gain creates a lot more bass than we think. Also, don't discount the bass traps I have. :) It would be a much more complicated picture otherwise.

Best,

...and best back to you, Eric. *S*  And, yes, I noted the cut vs. boost detail...it's all in how the parametric is set.  This I'm confident you know of this....;)

I've got an old SAE '2 band' (high & low) 2 channel set up in my shop area to tame my 'low rent' arrays into a 'reasonable' affair.  Beats trying to massage the receiver's tone controls to be acceptable. *G*

I will concur...an AMT is not a true ribbon, but they are less finicky and durable.  That, and they can go down to 500 hz before loosing 'credence' at least to my ears...

I don't discount your traps, oh no.  My current space makes such impractical; this Will change in the short future.  At that juncture, I shall respond in my typical 'knee of jerk' Xsperimental fashion. *G*

I have 'something' I want to try....;)   My take on 'nothing ventured, blame yourself' department. 

That, and a spouse that absolutely refuses to live in a 'studio'...so I have to be...'artful' about it...;)   Blobs (or even GIK panels) 'don't fly' well about her...(she's quite aware of 'hi-fi devious tricks' from living with me for wayyy long time...).

Subtlety in the Long Game.  And it works best if not permanent, so one can beat a hasty retreat....;)  We both (she & I) have our reasons.....

....my 'semi-consciousness' dredges up the odd 'musical interlude' from time to time.....

I have no control over this....*G*....but I'm happy it did. ;)

Substitute 'Vivianne' for 'Marion' and Bob will appreciate the return to 'accuracy'....;)

Best, and better, J

My speakers do have good low end, but compared to my cerwin vega D9’s, it’s not even close.

currently use Energy rc-70s’, bass is descent and right, fills my room nicely.

it is a huge front room, with vaulted 16” ceilings, sound is great!

 Drug up my old 1986 cerwin vega D-9’s 
not even close, not in the same town!

vega 15”’res are so tight, precise, deep, and loud, sure with specific music the Energy’s shine, then hook up the Vegas w Travers, derringer, king diamond, foghta, it’s not even close.

 But I love my Energy’s,  they are my grail towers!

It's the flat earth perspective Erik, no-one thinking properly could possibly be as obnoxious or noisome so consistently.
