Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers?


I always read that the B&W 802d (1st gen) speaker has very strong / authoritative bass. Yet, I find the bass to be very lacking in all recordings.

What gives?

What do you have for amp,preamp  as well as loudspeaker cables  and power cords  each one part of the sum of the whole  can has a sizable impact 

if you would state what  you have  it can be determined if it is sufficient 

I have 40+ years in audio , and owned an Audio store .

first thing  how big is your room ?  How har are speakers from the wall ?

the closer to the wall more bass reinforcement   All of the above count ,

another big thing since I have rebuilt the important Xovers 

if your speaker is over 10-15 years old the Capacitors dry out  which would cause Detail and or low frequency response  to be greatly effected !!
