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

I have the Sig SEs. the amp matters. sounded weak with the emotiva. sounded Very Good with the Parasound Halo. have the Pass Labs 250.8 now and I'm done. i get strong accurate base in my small untreated house. XP-12 is my pre.

@jr19 - cool, could you share a little bit about your speaker placement?

@audiom3 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.

Really? Take a serious listening to the Quolio IQ YT demo. This time use your headphone. Good one. The recording is truely top notch AND Quolio’s room does not have sub there.

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.

Prove it. Don’t just talk about it.  I really challenge you to do better than Quolio's room.

OP: 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

If your room/speakers could produce that kind of decent sound reproduction as I hear from the Quolio’s room, you should not be here whining about it.
