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…

Quick math approximately 471ish sq inch vs a 21” 330ish sq inch? (Don’t take my word on the math, pretty rough approximation)

?

agree with powered subs, probably 2 with those speakers...most speakers bass rating is at inches from speaker at low volume, not full volume at listening position...

The frequency balance is very important in an hi-end audio system. Even slightly more high freq, the sound becomes bright. The listener feels dark and gloomy if the low and mid freq are even slightly more. The best reference is to match freq balance with the original sound or music. Therefore, the audio sound is natural and balanced and one can listen to the audio system for the long time without the listener’s fatigue.

One of big reasons for craving more bass is the strong distortion in an audio system. The audio distortion is mostly felt in the higher freq and is playing like high freq which makes there is more high freq. Then the more bass and mid are needed to balance out. The audio distortion is major irritation to human ears and our ears will not tolerate even little distortion sound. Even the strongest bass is not enough to balance out to this harsh high freq like audio distortion.

One way to reducing the audio distortion easily is using good properly made audio power cords.
