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.

while I am a fan of her, I think her greatest performance was speaking dirty to a Teddy Bear reminiscing about having sex with the bear. And the back story for it must have been Seth MacFarlane always wanted Jones to speak dirty to him.

Alas! i am discarded, and did not mind about Norah Jones , now i know why, my subwoofer is 8 inches...

But wait a minute, i recognized she sing  well listening to her for the first time , (i never listened anyway to most female or male  pop of folk singer even the very good one ) with my 8 inches woofer...

I think i could recognise his gift with only my 4 inches Edifier  speakers without their  sub... Am i normal ? 

( i apologise to the OP for my irony ) 

I appreciate all OP thread even this one by the way ...smiley

 

 

Thanks for the suggestion on the Peter Malick/Norah Jones albums.  I hadn’t heard them prior and they are very nice!  Norah does a great job with her blues vocals and Peter adds excellent feeling and tone with his guitar work.  

To clarify, the title of my thread was that I needed more bass, not bigger speakers! :) 

In prior rooms I would have liked Norah Jones a lot more with the smaller speakers.  So, no I'm not suggesting at all you can't really appreciate Norah Jones or any other artist unless your woofers are at least X inches in diameter.  I'm saying bass matters in a lot of music you wouldn't think it does.
