btw the 12" cone on the JBL 4312 has a surface area of 452sq.in. The 702 has 133x3=399sq.in. But the 702 has a larger cabinet volume. I'm not sure how that compares overall in the mid-bass upper-bass region, but the 702 is almost a full range speaker. I still think adjusting the EQ would be the first place to look. I don't think moving the speakers will do much unless you make a drastic change.
B/W 702 s3
I bought a pair of B/W 702 s3's last year. They sound average to me. My question is would bi-amping them with Rotel RB1582 MII's be a dramatic change. My local shop suggested to even try bi-wiring them. Before I do I wanted to get some opinions and feedback

I just want to add that my Martin Logan 20i cover the same range (46-25000), but I would not consider them even remotely close to almost a full range speaker. I’ve listened to BW 804 D4, but even those seemed like they could benefit from a sub or a more powerful amp (they were connected to some English brand amp around 150 wpc as far as I recall ) In my case, updating the speakers - and the amp - and adding a sub finally brought the sound to where I wanted it. |
+1 @soix "2 subs implemented correctly" |
