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

How old are you?  I haven't talked like that since I was about 12.  And I never disputed the quality of their audio/video.  They're trying to sell speakers from it.  Move on and quit trolling the OP's thread.

navyachts,

I own a Coda No.8 V1, and based on my experience with it, I suspect it is the cause of your bass problem.  I have used the Coda amp with 2 different speakers, KEF Reference 1 and Yamaha NS-5000, and have found much stronger bass with other amplifiers (Parasound JC-1 and Yamaha M-5000).  

I’m confused as to whether you’re still limited to 12” subs?  If not, a pair of 13” SVS SB1000 Pro subs will definitely up your bass performance and include integration software all for $1100 with a 45-day, risk-free trial including shipping both ways.  Definitely worth a try I’d think. 

@80s_forever - now that is interesting. I think you are the second person in this thread to mention something like this. I possibly have a chance to change the speakers, changing out the amp might be a little more difficult at this point. Thanks
