Unfortunately the way people interact with each other is imbedded in their DNA. Not everyone is a nice person. What one person hears as an insulting, abrasive response probably seems normal to that person dishing it out. Some are not aware they do...

Subwoofer to complement ProAc Response D2s
Here’s a good review of KEF KC62 vs Rel T7X vs SVS 3000 microhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiPwGE114H8 FYI... In the above test 'musicality' and blending with speakers category went to KEF KC62. REL was a close second. 
The Absurdity of it All
perkri... Try running a 60hz tone through the set up. Sit where you sit and listen to the timber of the bass. Then walk around the room. It will at some point become a droning mess, at other points it will almost vanish. Very true.  It was eye o...

charles1dad...When I walked out of the audiologist office the first comment I made to my daughter standing in the parking lot was..."how can these little things possibly be THAT expensive?"  Ranged from $5600 down to $2500 for the crappy ones. Thi... 
Recent upgrade to my hearing with truly amazing results.
charles1dad...Speech was every bit as good as the $5600 Beltone unit I tried. In fact, I found the Airpod pro superior. Speech clarity comes in upper midrange and upper frequencies where my hearing is deficient. I found the Airpod pro to sound muc... 
Advice please.
You say you don't want to add a subwoofer but in the next breath you want to improve "especially the bass". A subwoofer or better yet, a pair of subwoofers will give you the most flexability for the quest of better bass. The biggest advantage bein... 
Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?
One other very important point...finding the best bass is also extremely dependent on the location off the bass driver in the room as well as the phase adjustment of the bass speakers. The room has bass cancellations and that you can't eliminate. ... 
Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?

Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?
Yes, provided you have 'high level input' connection on your subs. Most higher quality subs have two ways you can connect. Either 'low level' RCA connection from your pre-amp (passive) OR you can run a short set of wire directly from the back of y... 
Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?
I have to chime in here. Paul McCowen from PS Audio said the best way to connect your subs was to connect them directly from the speakers to the high level inputs on the sub. (he has a video on the topic) In this way it picks up the dynamic charac... 
Bright High End Speakers = Bad Room?
Speakers that are very 'revealing' are often considered to be bright. 'Bright' speakers have become something to fear and avoid. I refer to many of them as 'clear'. Padding a speaker down in an effort to flat line on a chart can/will soften the so...
