    B&W 685 users:Do you use bass control of your receiver/amplifier?

    B&W 685 users,if you are using B&W 685s as stereo without subwoofer,do you use bass control(or something like "Sound Retriever" function) of your receiver/amplifier to have more bass for music?

    I use 685's in my office - stereo w/o sub(s) - I dont use any bass enhancer because the speakers are pretty close to a wall and that reinforces the bass.

    I'm running them with the foam rings but without the smaller center piece and the speakers sound pretty amazing in the bass.
    Stereo: Revel F208, Parasound JC2, JC1's, Oppo HA-1, VPI, Dynavector, Moon

    HT: B&W 802D2, 805S, HTM4, Marantz, OPPO BDP95, Velodyne DD-12's

    HP / secondary system: Woo Audio W2, Carver Sunfire, Kef LS50, Denon, and too many headphones to list

      Also some recordings need some flavoring since there's no standards for music recording and the sound of different music recordings is all over the place. I will use enhancements when needed regardless of speakers (Yes, I own the 685's along with the 804S's). Let your ears be the final judgement...
