As others have stated, it’s probably your room and/or speaker positioning and listening area. Some extensive measurements and rearranging will probably be in order.
I want more bass…
Superb pair L’Instrument large horn speakers with two 12” woofers in each speaker.
So how to get more bass? My PassLabs XA25 was too little, my Luxman M900u was too sweet, of course these are not party or club speakers but my guests who are not audiophiles (you know the one’s who ask what are those? I say tubes…) let’s call them the sound bar set!
These speakers are rated down to 18Hz can anyone suggest the best value amp that can deliver bass to these speakers take control and make them move? 98dB sensitive by the way…
Give me some used cheap but real good amps to try please. Exposure? Class A. Not my weak knee’d Bouyrrang A50 300B 😉
Even my D240 MKII Audio Research seem not to push them deep and strong enough for the sound bar set. Can’t imagine I need a subwoofer…

A great tool to help you with results of positioning in your space is a Sound Pressure Level Meter. Amazon.
put on tripod, listening position, seated ear hight, see how balanced the range of tones are. move the speakers, listen, then run the test tones, see the results.
.................................................... combined with a test CD with test tones. I have this one, got lucky, bought long time ago when affordable, very pricey now. tracks 9-38 1/3 octave test tones. you want specific individual tones, not sweeping tones. .................................... OTHERS: what CDs are good for test tones???? |
With four 12" drivers and "not enough bass"....I'm very suspicious of the room. Even though you don't have a subwoofer....do the subwoofer crawl around the room, on your hands and knees, sometimes moving your head up and down and see if there is good bass ANYWHERE in the room. If so, then speaker positioning vs listening position adjustment will be critical. If not, then you just might have one of those room that has so many cancellation modes that these speakers just aren't going to work in your room. |
https://tektondesign.com/product/subwoofers/6-10-sub/#color Quick math approximately 471ish sq inch vs a 21” 330ish sq inch? (Don’t take my word on the math, pretty rough approximation) |
