People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution?


So I've read that when people change their systems they're unhappy with the bass and then when they get more bass, they have a problem with the mids not being as vibrant.

So why is all this happening? Is it because Single amplifiers supplying a multi driver speaker create chaos between the drivers with all the feedback and whatever.

doesn't this speak to merits of a biamp solution? I've been biamping for the past several months and the sound quality is remarkable. There's plenty of power across all drivers and they all seem to have independent freedom they didn't have before. No issues I can discern anymore aside from Recording quality issues.

 are people living with inherent mediocrity even when they're spending a lot of money on pretty components.

I just spent a few days playing with different component positions of power cables - (Shunyata Delta NR v2's and Level 3 Anticables) plus fiddling with the controls on REL S812 subwoofers - all this after doing some room treatment. Quite amazing what can be done by judicious experimenting and shuffling about with these variables.

 

I added a pair of REL SHO subwoofers and it totally changed things.  Their high level connection allows them to play as  woofers to fill in the bass after dialing them in.

Ok, I get it now. No room acoustic treatments needed and bi-amping is the key. I'm doing it all wrong.

@baylinor Heh heh.  As my buddy who’s a computer consultant used to say about his more tech-challenged clients — We’re dealing with about 100 megabytes of RAM here.

Increasing the mid bass is going to detract from the "clarity" of the recording - all other things being equal. I had a recording studio for 10 years and I think any recording engineer would tell you that managing the mid bass in a recording is critical. If you have an equalizer just try bumping up the EQ from about 200 hz to about 600 hz and you will hear muddiness.

The point here is that when you change the frequency response of your system it's not unusual to hear unintended consequences.
