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

The crossover components as well as drivers themselves need at least 200hrs of signal running thru them to open up and stabilize. Way too early for a judgement call. 

You probably already did this but make sure the speakers are not wired out of phase.  After that it's likely your room / speaker positioning. 

@ddd1 - my apologies, yes two 10" woofer (not 7")

@soix - yes, sealed box design, other speakers I have had have been rear ported, so adjusting to them makes sense. Last speakers were Kef R 11s.

@russ69 - amplification is a Coda #8 for power and a Coda CB pre-amp

Yes, the room is not great and I’m working on it. I will continue to break them in.
