Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Yes they are deficient in bass.

I have auditioned these speakers with many different amps both ss and tubes and with and without subs. If you like power music look elsewhere. It is very difficult maybe impossible to get them to blend in with subs seamlessly. One caveat - I did not audition them with the Nola subs that Pearson likes in his surround sound set up. You may be able to do that at Lyric in NY. I badly wanted this to work but it just never did. These speakers also keep pushing you to turn up the volume to break through some veiling of the sound in my opinion. Still they are smooth with low distortion and have excellent high frequency extension. A used pair of Vandersteen 5As may get you closer to what you want but they are dynamically limited in a large room.
