I want more bass…


Superb pair L’Instrument large horn speakers with two 12” woofers in each speaker.
So how to get more bass? My PassLabs XA25 was too little, my Luxman M900u was too sweet, of course these are not party or club speakers but my guests who are not audiophiles (you know the one’s who ask what are those? I say tubes…) let’s call them the sound bar set!

These speakers are rated down to 18Hz can anyone suggest the best value amp that can deliver bass to these speakers take control and make them move? 98dB sensitive by the way…

Give me some used cheap but real good amps to try please. Exposure? Class A. Not my weak knee’d Bouyrrang A50 300B 😉

Even my D240 MKII Audio Research seem not to push them deep and strong enough for the sound bar set. Can’t imagine I need a subwoofer…

What kind of music are U listening to? does it have really deep bass? Most people think mid bass is deep bass. Woofer position, as mentioned , is critical for deep bass. Rooms actually have null spots where there is no bass if your woofers are there. That's the plus of subs. You can put them in the good spots for bass and the main speakers for best sound and it's usually not the same spots. Finally how loud do U listen. It's very hard to hear deep bass at lower levels. The ear frequency response varies with level and is only flat at around 100 dB, too loud for safe listening. At normal loud levels bass is down at the ears significantly.
