Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: I agree - "revealing" (transient capability) is not a problem

If your speakers don't have proper baffle step compensation they will sound midrange-forward and bass shy especially when playing content that relies on a solid bottom-end - especially rock music.

Move your speakers closer to the walls and see if the bass improves.

Trouble is, speakers close to the wall can enhance bass response, but can interfere with placement that is done to improve soundstage.

Adding a sub can help, but remember that subwoofer crossover points and the baffle step frequency are not one in the same. Baffle step frequency is considerably higher than sub crossover points, so you can't use a sub to make up for a lack of BSC, or placing a speaker with BSC too close or too far away from the walls.

Cheers,
Presto
