@mike_in_nc OK, thanks, I'll try and figure it out.
More Bass
I recently purchase a pair of Legacy Signature speakers from an on-line retailer. I purchased them unheard, but I did my due diligence in researching them and I would have thought with the 7" woofers and a rated frequency response of 22-30K hz, there would have been a bit more bass (although there is a couple of tunes I have played where there is some bass that is really deep and sounds all garbled, very weird, but I just won’t listen to those songs,I guess).
I bought floor standers so I wouldn’t have to deal with the hassle that goes along with setting up subwoofers, also with all the space they take up and the negative WAF that goes along with them.
They are a little bright on the top end, but I’ll blame that on my room, it probably needs more treating, just limited on funds at the moment.
If I thought I needed subwoofers, I'm thinking I might have bought a pair of Fritz bookshelfs and a pair of subs, for probably less than the Sigs.
The price of Legacy subs is over the top for me, so do you think there is any way to get more bass without subs or are there any subs that are a bit smaller, that might do the trick as I am pretty limited on space (and funds as previously mentioned!) Thanks

Another fun tool is a simple App on your phone. Spectroid is a frequency measurement tool. Take your phone and sit in your listening position. You will see the bass response in relation to other frequencies. make sure the recording is one that has low frequencies. Most don't have much below 35 Hz but some recordings go to 25Hz. Make sure the bass is as loud as other frequencies, kinda close, not louder. During my placement wars, there were times the bass completely cancelled out in my listening position! Now I have beautiful, detailed bass. I have traps. Quite a few, but not enough bass traps. There are rectangular and cylindrical(best}f, corner triangle, also good. you can also add traps with paintings or pictures, at a cost. |
I recalled, one and half year ago, I came across a pair of used Legacy Focus SE for a increadibly affordable price including shipping and was tempted. Fortunately I was able to audition first and decide not to pursue because its so-so bass performance. Although youtube recordings was heavily criticized but, if you take brief listening to it, it immediately becomes apparent that their bass was not as deep, weighty and nimble as you might expect from a set of gigantic beefy speakers. Take a look at Quolio IQ. It is might be your end game yet very afforable speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysk3Sq65mZA&t=1837s

@audphile1 - is there any way you can stop the notification of this message to my email? I have received it 10 times! I'm working on pictures!! @navyachts picture speaks a thousand words. is there a way you can add a virtual system with pictures of room and current set up? That will help with proper recommendations with your current and future setup.

@lanx0003 - I think open baffle speaker need to be way out from the back wall. I had to laugh; my room looks 10 times better acoustically than the one in the video |
