We have all sat beside a car with thumping all bass noise. I can crank up my bass with an EQ but it is not realistic. This may be what he is asking for.
The only thing that sounds like a grand piano is, big surprise, a grand piano
If you want to add 20 Db at 50 Hz great, but don't kid yourself that you are a knowledgable audio hobbyist, or that what you are listening to is music.

And I am listening to 15 inch tannoys right now
do you mean that speakers are more fundamental than dacs ?
It could be the case that actually i am focusing the wrong element of the chain.
I understand that even the greatest bass dac around cannot give bass with a minimonitor.
Thanks for the advice.
Kind regards,

A subwoofer could help those Tannoy 609 mk II's. They are very nice but I would not expect those woofer to be able to dip very low. Size does matter.

Hi and thanks for the valuable advice.
I see better now that a full range system implies inevitably full range speakers.
So it is the 1st step in order to be able to appreciate also a better source/dac. Surely my dac is very cheap.
But speakers first.
I wonder if it is not the case of changing them completely instead of adding a sub. I am a little scared by complex system and a sub (or 2) would add complexity.
I have to think about it a little more seriously.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

It really is not that complex to hook up a sub. My preferred method is from the preamp outs to the sub and roll the base in under the satellites without any filtration of the signal to the main speakers. Then I adjust by ear,

Hi and i am not excluding the sub idea but i would do it with an active x-over.
And actually this is my long term best solution, with two bass boxes one per side below speakers taking care of the portion from 100-150 up.
Those could be almost everything, from panel to widebands.
Yes that would be my definitive system.
I have come to the conclusion that low bass need indeed a serious 15" cone.
I had the opportunity to listen to a pair of old JBL L-200 ... loved them completely in the bass. Just perfect for me. I cannot ask of more.
But above 100 Hz i am open to different solutions, like panels for instance.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
