Shall I suggest the E word: EQUALIZER!!!!Or less radical moving speakers closer to walls and corners pretty much always helps boost the bass, but often at teh expense of 3-d sound stage and imaging so a dilemma there..Equalizers....much easier, mo... | |

Only 87db efficient but very easy to drive. I was very impressed! Show price of $2500 a pair still offered I believe. Klip... | |
