So, after a lot of messing around with DSP, cables, placement, footers, EQ, etc - all trying to get a bit more bass slam that I felt the room was sucking out - I tightened my LF drivers yesterday by chance (the tool finally came to tighten a replaced driver so went to check the rest and they weren't what I'd call tight).
The upshot, they sound bl***y great!
Bass is how I remember a demo pair (in their room) - the bass I've been wondering where the hell it's been for a year. But not just that, everything sounds great, and the treble less harsh. Soundstage is better. The whole sound is less fatiguing.
Bearing in mind my post over in the speaker cables thread, am I imagining this, or could it actually be possible? Could it really be that simple? OMG if it is I'm a total moron (albeit a happy one, other than the fact that I might have needlessly worsened my hearing over the past year).
