More Bass

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.

@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

You could not be further from the truth.  One day I'll upload a video/sound clip of my Focus SEs bowing/rattling the F out of my back windows of my 16x28 room.  We're talking peaks @ 30Hz range stuff, not boomy, "boom boom" car bass.  Problem with uploading to YT is not just the compression but most won't be able to play back that deep bass anyway unless they have a decent sub.

It just takes a little effort like with anything else.  You can't expect to slap them down into any room, hit play and have high expectations of being blown away with deep bass.  That is beyond silly and unrealistic.

@daledeee1 Walk around the room.  Does bass get better, worse or doesn't matter.  A continuous tone is helpful.  I  have 20 and 30 hz only.  Also, it will take a few days, many people play new speakers continuously for a few days.

stays the same
