Apologies to Norah Jones, I needed more bass!

No worries, part our our pursuit is the ah ha moments, no ?

check out the Bosendorfer 290 Imperial is you want bass…

In case anyone wants to see the additional bass cabinetry:

At least in terms of displacement, this puts my main speakers in the same category as B&W 801’s and Magico S5s, if they were active. :)   Also, at 48" tall, they are the same height as the Magico S5, so they MUST sound the same, right?  

I would recommend Norah's album Little Broken Hearts if you want to hear her music with a bit more umph and bass. She collaborated with the producer Danger Mouse, so that album is decidedly not in her traditional oeuvre that most people associate with her.

Other than the few songs that got/get played to death,  what songs/albums are you referring to?  I’m not a big Norah fan and I’ve tried to listen to her albums, but I end up skipping through the tracks.  Also, what volume levels are you using now?

Thanks.

Nora demands a black background for those moments of silence and low notes.
