Which component upgrade will produce more BASS?

This recommendation is not found in the usuall realm of tweaks but works : Replacing all the steel screws/bolts on your speakers with solid brass using a torque driver to deliver precise hand pounds of pressure to tighten up the brass. Virtual Dynamics , a Hi-End cable Co. from Canada , has a series entitiled "The Oddophile" running on AG, w/ Episodes detailing the "how to" to this tweak, as well as other speaker tweaks. The brass tweak cost about a hundred bucks, but that was because I purchased several types of hi-quality brass from a commerical distributor that only sold in bulk. The Wheeler Torque Wrench only cost $45.15 via the internet delivered.

The difference is night & day in terms of bass & resolution. Check out the video's on Audiogon. You just might try their tweaks for speakers as I have. Best money that I've spent on speakers in quite a while. This tweak may resolve your bass problem at its source - the speaker itself. All the best.

Tvad : That is true. From your perspective a change in speakers is in order.

What the change-out from steel to brass did was to restructure the musical presentation giving different perspective as to bass content. The "Oddophile" video provides an explanation that appears reasonable. And ,yes, my speakers go considerably lower than the blues , and if the appearence of deepness is what's required of course any number of speakers can fit that bill for a price.

The difference that tickeled my ears following the change-out was the bass appeated be more distinct w/ greater realism. Since my speakers go into the teens , perhaps my perspective is reflective of that fact. However, the video does make mention the tweak works on a whole range of speakers $500-$45K.

As for the offer to sell with the torque wrench , I would scarf it up but I have a Wheeler FAT Wrench. What a great tool if only to re-tighten the screws/bolts on speakers and audio gear & lots of other stuff . I have a feeling priced right it could sell quickly.

Ziggy333a : I wish you the best on the quest to Mo'Bass. While your at that, persuse the video I mentioned on AG. Steel to Brass not a "new" idea but its certianly over-looked, regardless what option you chose, the change-over is always a possibilty.
