What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?

Hi-

I am wondering what would give the most dramatic increase in bass and low mid projection/Volume, even on account of accuracy ...


My speakers can go down to 28hz but i need to boost it’s level, not frequency extension. They are 2 way with bass reflex port. 6.5" woofer size and a tweeter. Floor standing.

My floor is old hardwood strips.

placement and coupling methods are the first things that come to mind. I do not want to add an equalizer at this point.

Spikes, footers, concrete platform, direct floor flush contact? anything and everything that YOU know works.
Speculations on untested methods are not needed as i need real life experience from people.

Thanks!
Rea

Make sure your amp’s input impedance is compatible with your preamp’s output impedance. I believe the rule of thumb is there should be at least a 10X difference between them.

I have a system with book shelf monitors and I cannot believe how much difference filling the stands with sand/kitty litter has made! It solidified the entire soundstage, and extended the bass. I highly recommend that anyone using stands performs this, you’ll be amazed the improvement it makes!

My floor standing speakers are also filled with sand, but that’s the way they came I didn’t experience the transformation as with the stands.
