This means for one thing you want to run your 804s full range. Then use as many subs as you can. I used just one... | |
| DSP TO TAME THE BASS IN HARBETH SPEAKERS to tame the bass bloat in my Harbeths when driven by tube amps Sounds to me like its nothing to do with the speakers, or the room, and DSP certainly is not the answer. You're trying to make your tube amps have the same thin unsatisfying bass as s... | |
