Apologies to Norah Jones, I needed more bass!


I've read a lot of positive reviews about Norah Jone's, both in her individual talent and the quality of the recordings.  I've been "meh!" for years.

The last six months I upgraded my main speakers with dual 10" woofers per side and enormous amplifier power and wow, suddenly I really enjoy Norah Jones!! I just didn't have enough bass to do her recordings justice.

If anything, I am pointing out that having excellent bass isn't just for rock and roll.  

I remember you saying you didn't get why people liked her. Interesting that more bass was what did it. 

@parkergetdean  - Exactly!!! I mean, yes, I'm enjoying a lot of jazz a lot more, but it's in voice, piano and double bass that the effect is really thrilling me.  Not the kick drums.  I did not realize how much I was missing.  :)

Sweet!

I can see that her voice would feel rounder with proper bass. But I mean I always imagined you would have a capable setup with all your gear and wizardry.

Also, I feel foolish because I thought I had plenty of bass. :D 

I had avoided using my sub for music due to ... excessive messiness trying to integrate a stereo integrated with an AVR.  I decided however to go fully active, and to convert my 2-way bookshelves to 3-ways and that restored a lot I had forgotten about. 

This may be the root cuase of me watching more TV and listening less to music! hahahaha
