Subwoof Piega P10s for bass Quality, not Quantity?


Can a subwoofer be used to improve the quality of a system with too strong bass? I have Piega P10s & would like a tighter, more controlled, even reduced bass. (All other aspects of the P10s sound is, to my ears, wonderful.)Thanks to members for any suggestions.

A high damping factor contributes to more consistent sound from speaker to speaker with the same amp. It doesn't necessarily provide more "authority" or "grip" in terms of bass control. That has to do with current capacity and circuit stability. This is NOT to single out Dlshifi's response, as this type of belief can be found EVERYWHERE in audio, even from EE's, engineers and manufacturers. Should we start another thread about this subject? It would go hand in hand with the "sloppy" bass response found in the mega-dollar Stereophile speaker thread.

Rgs: work with room placement. If that can't get you where you want to go, try installing various quantities of polyester fiberfil in your speakers. This can be purchased for less than $2 per 20 ounce bag at Wal-Mart. By varying the quantity, density and placement of the polyester, you can fine tune the bass response of the system to suit your needs. Sean

Rgs: If your main goal is to lean the system out slightly, try some Nordost speaker cables. Don't know if you'll like them on the whole, but they will reduce the quantity of bass that you're currently observing. Sean
