Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?

So what you're telling me is that if I had more gain I'd get more detail, better imaging and less bass? Because that's what I'm after. And do you know how much gain I have in my system? Should I just replace my lightspeed attenuator, one of my favorite pieces? Ummm, okay...

I'm not saying to replace anything; what I mean is some of the techs on this thread have voiced this concern and maybe they can offer advice since it's all about system synergy.
(with more gain, you would get higher efficiency and not less bass; that's not the goal; you would have more control).

B_limo,
We are again coming back to the "gain" topic. Trust me, I have seen what gain can do and why people complain about dull, lifeless music with passives. Once you balance the system with the right gain, you will be thoroughly rewarded with great music. Unfortunately, to do this in your system, it means changing your speakers or the amp. If you get a amp, make sure it has a max sensitivity of 1V. If you change the speakers, make sure they are at least 90+ db. There are many sensitive speakers - just research them. I would say at least 92+ db speakers will fit nicely in your system.

Thanks for the help guys!

I'm a little confused about whether I am confused, or you guys are confused.

My amp has a sensitivity rating of 1.15v and my speakers are in the 90db sensitivity range; I really like the way my system sounds.

What I'm looking for is a pair of speakers that image well, have lots of detail, BUT THAT DON'T HAVE MUCH BASS OUTPUT!

I'm moving soon and don't want to bother my neighbors with bass transmission through the walls, so I'm trying to get good suggestions on speakers that image well, have lots of detail, AND THAT DON'T HAVE MUCH BASS.

I'm not trying to say that my current speakers don't have enough bass, what I'm looking for is a pair of speakers that don't put out much bass.

Please, no more suggestions on how to get more bass, I'm looking for some speakers that image well, have lots of detail, AND NOT MUCH BASS.

Image well, yes, detail, yes, Am I looking for more bass, no, AmI looking for less bass, yes!

Less bass, good, more bass, bad.

I think we get it. I'll bet your system has enough gain and the small speakers suggested such as the Totem and Minuets would do well. They'll have tight bass and crossed-over higher that your towers. No low-end boom or rumble.

perfect example...

Since I just got into a couple of pairs of Minuets, I have to give a plug for the Silverlines. They have good bass, but they don't go low."
