Norton some speakers do change after break in some don’t.
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

From Coda: "There should be no brake in for the amp or the speakers. With the efficiency and impedance of the speakers there should be enough power with the V1. We have had Whisper, Focus, and Signature on site. I found that the Sigs were more balanced. They had good bass but not overpowering. Whispers were also balanced. The Focus on the other hand had a more enhanced bass. I think it is expectation and the speaker. Perhaps the Focus?" I really don't want the hassle, expense and the size by moving up to the Focus... UGH!

Same thing with links started happening to me about a month or two ago. The way I can make links work now is to right click on the link, and select "open link in new tab". |
@navyachts As mentioned, I owned both the Focus SE and Aeris. I found that smaller "full range speakers" and subs were the way to go for my room. With subs, you have better dedicated control of the bass through separate amps and are less limited to positioning the full-range speakers for bass balance. Also with the Focus, while the extra midrange is nice, the increase in the size of the drivers also increases the height of the Legacy Air Motion Transformers, which can be detrimental in sound quality for some if the tweeters are too high for their ears. I don’t want to detract people from getting a Focus SE as it is a wonderful speaker and there are other benefits in addition to stronger bass, such as a richer midrange. But if you are already happy with the performance of the Signature SE aside from bass performance, upgrading to the Focus SE is not necessarily the answer. In my room, even with the Focus SE and Aeris, I preferred having subs due to the improved control, more even distribution of bass, and the benefits across the frequency spectrum I mentioned in an earlier post. |
