Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?

In response to:

To give you the feel of a live performance you want you bass up 5 to 10 dB between 20 and 30 Hz.

IMHO, most live performances, especially in rock, electronica and related genres, do not deploy sound engineers that present a realistic sound balance these days. Bass is overweight, often not tight, and consequently the overall sound is poor, sometimes  atrocious. General audiences seem to like the "thump in your chest" bass sound/feeling. However, for home listening it can be very tiresome and disappointing after the initial wow moment has passed.

Thank you,

Had a second look at the graphs and was looking to see if the output is dB(A) weighted? Doesn't look like it. Maybe you can confirm and if not, run the same methodology using the A weighted algorithm. I would be interested to see what these graphs look like.

Kind regards,

@bobpyle , you need to attend smaller venues like the Blue Note in NYC and The Regata Bar in Boston. Rock concerts are Mono PA sound are worthless for evaluating home system. Fortunately, most live recordings are taken off the sound board and mixed like any other recording.

Lifelike sounding bass is lifelike whether you like it or not. If you don't like it you do not belong here. I suggest you visit a Bose Forum actually that is not fair to Bose. You should find a forum that talks about computer speakers. Those do not have much bass. Just your speed.

Thank you for your considered advice.

Actually, I only need to travel to The Sage, Hall Two for lifelike bass and, to my listening room when my Magico Q5's and my upstream audio system is tuned to my perception.

Kind regards,

Try moving your chair - you may be sitting on a nodal point in the room.

However, this is a classic case of trusting your ears rather than your eyes. If the bass sounds clean and tight, then why worry about what the graph looks like...

The kind of music you listen to in relevant too. A lot of music doesn't have that much energy around the 40hz region - which is the low E on a bass guitar.

I couldn't find any measurements on the Tyler speakers website, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that 40hz is the port tuning frequency. You could always block the ports with foam and remeasure to see if this is the case.
