Agree with Mijostyn. WBs are not bass heavy speakers to start with and are very linear. Magico is similar. I would use the Seismic’s for music at least but more/bigger subs would be better. That will give you the increased bass you are looking for.

oct 2020. i have a very wide room. 11 metres. 4.5 deep. i have a lack of punchey rich bass from 70 to 200.

my bass at 40hz is good so some of it is room but i think bigger woofers would help bring out some mid low bass enforcement.

My experience with the geometry series is that WB just doesn't emphasize bass.  I am not sure Magico is the answer as it is much brighter.  

Vivid Kaya 90s might solve your issue as they are not much brighter than the WBs and have much better bass response.  

I have 45s sitting next to Vertexes.

A customer of mine had a pair of paramount 200 watt amps. Traded them for an Esoteric 30 watt class A stereo amp....the bass was so much better. Look for a good amplifier...The midrange on WB speakers is exceptional, never loss site of that and if you aren't taken with it then the new amp and perhaps a lovely tube preamp.
