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.
@kevn - I have nothing against DBA, except those that insist it is the one and only true way. We all have limitations and different levels of what we consider to be "difficult." For me, I 100% do not want more speakers spread around the room. No. Good for me, bass traps, EQ and placement are great alternatives. |
@erik_squires - all good ; ) - have a lovely years end ahead : ) |
@billpete - Sometimes I tri-amp, sometimes I quad-amp. My L/R use 100/250/250 Watts respectively for tweeter, mids and bass. My center uses 100/125/125 AND is crossed to a 15" subwoofer with about 1,500 W at 60 Hz, so technically quad amplified. :) |
Interesting. Makes a big difference having enough power. I've been a big advocate of that for a very long time. I've never had the efficient low wattage gear so have always gone for big power. The speakers that I've been using for the last 23 years or so, are quite power hungry and per the manual, are OK with up to 400 watts at 4 ohm X 4. I feed them with 385 x 4. The difference in going from one amp to two is enormous. I found them to be slow and flabby with only one amp and they did not come to life until I had them bi-amped. I'd love to hear the super efficient type sometime but I may never have that opportunity. |
