Where s the bass?

Tai: Those are some speakers. There's an article by Thiel about placement:

But before you go buying sub woofers what about some treatment? Some form of weight on the top of the speaker? Can you put some cushions behind your head where the tweeter and mid pass by? If you have a tile floor try a couple of cushions on the floor at the mirror point with the tweeter. I just think with those kind of speakers you should just try a little treatment.

on the cheap, go to a carpet supply place and get a remnant - industrial office grey is nice - then cut it to whatever size you like...you will be astounded!

I think its kind of funny how Tai spends $20.000.plus on amp and pre. Then 500 on a sony.The pass stuff well show what that sony lacks right away.Or any $20.000 rig well do the same..
I stated the one weak link is the sony..Its not a put down to Tai,the question was asked and i gave a response..Someone thinks thats worth -2 0 on rate this post
You mean to tell me no one else thinks a $500 sony cd is a mismatch on a rig like that..get a life
Tai see if you can audition a $3-4000 cd system and then see
if your bass improves

yes, I missed the player.

I have Thiel 6’s and I agree with Sean’s post. My Thiels are on the lean side. I now use a Krell FPB 200, which is known for that “Krell Bass Slam”. The combination of lean and slam = Bam! If changing amps is an option, try a home audition it may solve your problem. It did for me.
