Are you getting the bass you deserve?


Do you feel that you are getting all the bass you deserve, or have been promised, or wanted or that you paid for?

@sounds_real_audio I guess to refine the question if you feel that you have enough bass how did you get to that point. Was it simply avoiding the hype surrounding bass or something else?

 

I’ve owned OHM Walsh 4’s since 1986.

#1 Ensure cabinet resonances are perfectly neutralized by adjusting internal batting. This will give you excellent bass without mid-bass nasality - if you get it right.

#2 The OHM’s are bottom vented; if placed on carpet some of that energy and dynamics will be absorbed. Trick is to place speaker on an acrylic base (in the case of the 4’s it’s 16"X16") This results in a more detailed sound throughout the entire spectrum and a tighter better defined bass.

That;s what 30+ years of experimentation has taught me.

I finally got all the bass I got the bass I wanted  when I finally got the midrange I knew was possible. The right speakers and the right amplification and source. What made this possible was the excellent tube amp and pre. combined with a speaker that does not  ignore the value of music.  

I can't remember ever listening to live music and thinking to myself: The band should add more bass. Never happened.
