Rooms have positive and negative nodes where bass notes are increased or decreased in level. This is elementary acoustics! Your listening spot can be in one of those nodes. Use the Stereophile Test CD playing bass tones while you walk around the room. You may have to rearrange all four speakers and listening spot to achieve an acceptable result.
Integrated Question
I currently have Totem Forest Signatures powered by ModWright KWH 225i. I have rolled a total of three different tubes (stock JJ, Holland, Seimans), and have found the bass to be less impactful than desired. It seems to be all there, just laid back? I am considering a change in integrated.
Looking at Pass INT-250, Luxman 509z, Accuphase E-4000, and Boulder 866. Any one with experience with the above combinations? Am I heading in the right direction?
non-treated room (unable to address at this time)
Ayon S10 II / ModWright KWH 225i / Totem Forest Sig / REL S510 pr / Shunyata D6 - Delta v2 pc’s / Morrow Elite sc-interconnects (auditioning Fractal F1 next week)
