improving bass on large floorstanders....

I have some 3 way tower speakers that could use some bass improvement...however...if the results are minimal...i probably will pass...at any rate...would the addition of floor spikes or possibly a cable change be the answer?...I am looking for tighter, leaner bass if possible...thinking entry DH labs or Nordost...at any rates...what has worked/ not worked for others?

You should absolutely consider spikes, or better yet, outriggers. (oregondv.com) This should really help you achieve what you are looking for.

yes to spikes. Also bass traps in the corners behind the speakers. It will be a very noticeable improvement.

1. More careful positioning of the speakers and/or listener.
2. Attention to room acoustics.

Spikes for sure and it wouldn't hurt to try some different speaker locations. Good Luck.

Agree with all the comments above and add that some cables can help tighten up bass and your suggestion of Nordost is a good one, which worked well for me in the past. Another way is to have a better and more powerful amp.
