Hi guys,
I'm a newbie to hi-fi. I can't seem to get any bass from my 705s. The bass is rather soft. I'm not expect deep sounding bass from the 705s, but rather tight and firm bass. I'm using the system purely to listen to music, not HT.
My equipment as follows
Amp
Audiolab 8000A mkII
Marantz CD 5400 ver2
Interconnects
QED QUNEX 1
Speakers 705 (without stands. I placed them on my wooden cabinets, ard 30" in height)
Speaker cables
Kimble Cable 4TC
Listening Room Size
6m x 5m ( 13ft x 11ft?? )
Speaker placement.
20inches apart from rear walls
5ft between speakers
3ft from the nearest side wall
Not toed in.
I'm suspecting one of the following that's causing the weak bass.
1. Amp is not powerful enough ( 60wpc)
2. I'm not using proper speaker stands.
3. I'm using an entry level CDP.
Can somebody kindly advice how can I improve the bass?
What's the purpose of speaker stands, besides supporting the speakers. Does it improve sound and bass quality?
Sorry if I've asked some very stupid questions.
Thank you!
