More Bass

I would agree with @hickamore on the bass performance of the Signature SE and the benefit of using subs to supplement. I have previously owned both the Focus SE and Aeris. In both cases, while they let out big sound, they did not offer the benefits that quality, properly integrated subs do. I eventually moved away from the larger speakers and into better fitting speakers for the room accommodated by subs. Not only do the subs handle any missing bass information, but it also widens and deepens the soundstage and cleans up room modes and the full frequency spectrum, resulting in additional clarity and an improved performance across the board. Though I moved on from the Aeris being my speaker, I have since become a dealer and now am an official Legacy Audio installer. With that in mind, I have a custom pair of Signature SE coming for my floor in a week or two, as I realize it is more than enough to fill the space when properly integrated with subs, as demonstrated by a customer who traded in their Legacy Classic HD a few months back. Even that was enough in my room when partnered by two subs.

Measurements will also be very helpful, as is walking around the room as others suggest. But especially with the opening to the kitchen on the left side, subs and proper integration will be your best friend in this scenario.

Also, the problem is not with your amp, so disregard anyone who says so. The CODA No.8 is stable down to 2 ohms easily, and Legacy used to use CODA amps for their speakers prior to making their own with ICE modules.

Yes break-in period might help but what you described about your room layout, it might be the culprit. I dont know if this possible in your situation but have you tried moving your system so the sound is projected into the kitchen? At the current position, do you have a third wall behind you?

@highend64 - it would be awesome to do what you suggest, but we bought this house because it has a view, putting the speaker in the window, might just not go over to well. I'm just going to have to figure this out. Thanks

@blisshifi - OK, I will start a new thread with some sub-woofer questions! Thx

My speakers are similar to yours in specs anyway and since I'm a bass lover and rarely use my sub, I just use the tone controls on my pre-amp and get all the bass I want and can handle. Problem solved.

I personally don't believe in speaker "break-in" and think anything will change sound wise but know a lot of people do.

When I don’t get enough bass, I will look on how much power the speakers needed, even cabling , room and speakers placement.
