Post Subject: Bass for Dannoys?Posted by N-set on: 8/2/2022
After a provisional cleaning of my crappy Yamaha C2 preamp, I got +/- balanced bass and then made a bit of discovery: Changed the parallel R in the HF circuit of the UK crossover from 50R to 25R (and switched the xcover to the treble boost mode which did nothing). The motivation was to give more HF energy as the current listening space is hopelessly overdamped. This was an "a-ha! moment" ! Something started to appear. The sound is very different from a typical "audiophile sound", I sort of start to get the "different reference chart" thing as it's very much outside of the typical audio rooms. Musical, seductive with a bass I'd like to lick. It is still a far cry from the emotional involvement I'm getting with my electrostatic headphones and it is still "constipated" (forget big orchestras or opera at the moment). I'd like to try to break this barier and see what happens. One obvious direction is the preamp and I'm working on it. Another is getting a matching bass under 60Hz. Romy tried with AK151 with the Remedies but it didn't work. I was thinking of infinite baffles, two drivers per channel, reaching ~91dB. The only place I could eventually mount them is quite untypical -- hanging from the ceiling above the speakers. I'm fantasizing triangular manifolds with the openings firing towards the listening position. I have no experience with IB, so any comments welcome. Does this make sense? Romy have you tried your IB's with your Dannoys during "that event"?
