Do you find yourself turning down the bass on Coldplay albums?


I love Coldplay, but I have to scale back the bass on a lot of their tracks.  Do you notice the same thing?

Nope. I just let ‘er rip.

Check room acoustics including floor interaction if floors are suspended plywood. Isolation pads or stands underneath speakers might help if so. Or just try experimenting with speaker placement. Further from walls and even more so corners tends to reduce bass levels.

 

Other possibilities include impedance mismatch from pre to amp resulting in higher distortion and amp not able to drive speakers well.

Speakers too big for room maybe? Sometimes less is more.

Is there a specific Coldplay track that is a good example of what you hear?
