The speakers are new to me so I'm not sure if the sound has changed over time.
Increasing bass on floor standing speakers
I have some floor standing speakers that were a Visation kit from 30? years ago.
The treble and mids are amazing but the bass is a little weak. And suggestions on increasing the bass?
Concrete floor
Room 3.5 x 11 meters... Speakers on the long wall.
Rotel ra-01 amp
Project rpm 4 (I think)
Currently listing to Stevie wonder hotter than july.
Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks for your reply. It's a kitchen and lounge long room with a hallway door at the other end from where I listen. The speakers are set up on the long wall 2.1metres apart starting 1.6m from the corner of the room. I sit opposite them 2.1metres away. Yes it's a relative thing... Too much mid and highs for the bass. Just using my ears to assess this and comparison to some tannoy m1 bookshelf speakers. |
I used a polarity tester and the woofers are on the same phase. The tweeters were giving inconsistent results... One alternated with every pulse, the other was a little more random. I assume I wasn't using the app properly (I played through one phone connected to the amp and received with another. Used different frequencies and the L R fader.) I'll rewire it with thicker internal wires when I know if I need to change any polarities. |
These look the closest however there is a slit in the bottom at the front. https://impactaudio.co.uk/collections/visaton-loudspeaker-kits-accessories/products/visaton-vib-2000... I have the ortofon 2m red cartridge (new). I also have cd player (nad) and a computer attached. I'll try moving the speakers but it's not a practical solution unfortunately and I'll do a test with tilting them. The bass is also light with the cd player. |
