More Bass
I recently purchase a pair of Legacy Signature speakers from an on-line retailer. I purchased them unheard, but I did my due diligence in researching them and I would have thought with the 7" woofers and a rated frequency response of 22-30K hz, there would have been a bit more bass (although there is a couple of tunes I have played where there is some bass that is really deep and sounds all garbled, very weird, but I just won’t listen to those songs,I guess).
I bought floor standers so I wouldn’t have to deal with the hassle that goes along with setting up subwoofers, also with all the space they take up and the negative WAF that goes along with them.
They are a little bright on the top end, but I’ll blame that on my room, it probably needs more treating, just limited on funds at the moment.
If I thought I needed subwoofers, I'm thinking I might have bought a pair of Fritz bookshelfs and a pair of subs, for probably less than the Sigs.
The price of Legacy subs is over the top for me, so do you think there is any way to get more bass without subs or are there any subs that are a bit smaller, that might do the trick as I am pretty limited on space (and funds as previously mentioned!) Thanks
@audphile1 - is there any way you can stop the notification of this message to my email? I have received it 10 times! I'm working on pictures!! @navyachts picture speaks a thousand words. is there a way you can add a virtual system with pictures of room and current set up? That will help with proper recommendations with your current and future setup.

@lanx0003 - I think open baffle speaker need to be way out from the back wall. I had to laugh; my room looks 10 times better acoustically than the one in the video |
You could not be further from the truth. One day I'll upload a video/sound clip of my Focus SEs bowing/rattling the F out of my back windows of my 16x28 room. We're talking peaks @ 30Hz range stuff, not boomy, "boom boom" car bass. Problem with uploading to YT is not just the compression but most won't be able to play back that deep bass anyway unless they have a decent sub. It just takes a little effort like with anything else. You can't expect to slap them down into any room, hit play and have high expectations of being blown away with deep bass. That is beyond silly and unrealistic.

@daledeee1 Walk around the room. Does bass get better, worse or doesn't matter. A continuous tone is helpful. I have 20 and 30 hz only. Also, it will take a few days, many people play new speakers continuously for a few days. stays the same |
