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

Dear @dumbeat: There is no perfect speakers or audio systems, nothing is in audio.

Maybe speakers is the more critical and delicated ling in audio system chain because it is not only from where the sound comes on but because its direct relationship with all the links in the overall audio system chain including room and each one of us music/sound priorities.

In those order of premises what for you is rigth maybe for me or other gentleman it's not.

I don't like two-way speakers because to many " compromises " but for other people are the Nirvana.

Yes, you have to make your home-work about and I hope with the success you are asking for.

Dear @dumbeat: "  And thats a good thing and a bad thing. "    "  Half my library does not translate well at this time. "

I know and listened your Merlin speakers.

First time I heard the Dynaudio Esotar twetters was many years ago ( today Esotar 2 but from some years now Dynaudio is not any more a driver suplier for any one but its speakers. ) through a Sonus Faber monitor that till today was the deepest dimension of any two way speakers I never seen ( can't remember the model. ) and the hf range was to brigth/hars. This kind of characteristic I never listened in the own Dynaudio speakers designs maybe because they know exactly how to handle it. Esotar 2 is a little better but still brigth.

There is no reason for you can continue with that kind of quality level performance and if I was you what I will do is to change the Merlin's for something you already know very well ATC ones.

Merlin has that trouble no matter what. You need to change its design to achieve top level and maybe you can't get it.

ATC is one option about.

Dear @dumbeat: So, now you are ok with the bass/low mid you were asking for.

Btw, the comparison you did it between the ATC speakers vs the Merlin is not at all a good reference because the Merlin is in reality a two way speaker where the ATC is a 3-way and more important than that is that the ATC are active speakers with dedicated amps for each driver, amps that meets the specific drivers needs. Big difference vs Merlin's.

There are other alternatives to achieve even better quality performance levels from your Merlin's other than the change you made it with the amp but if rigth now problem was fixed the is useless to post about.

Dear @dumbeat: your system specific " trouble " that you want to fix was already fixed through the Joule amp change?
