| More Bass @audiom3 Problem with uploading to YT is not just the compression but most won’t be able to play back that deep bass anyway unless they have a decent sub. Really? Take a serious listening to the Quolio IQ YT demo. This time use your headphone. ... | |
| More Bass I recalled, one and half year ago, I came across a pair of used Legacy Focus SE for a increadibly affordable price including shipping and was tempted. Fortunately I was able to audition first and decide not to pursue because its so-so bass perform... | |
