        The +6db should hurt the speakers until you really crank it up. My honest feeling and suggestion is if you need the extra bass you should look into a sub and cut the bass boost. Flat on both bass and treble is the way to go once you get your system dialed in properly.

        You could also try moving the speakers out from the back wall or maybe even towards it to help increase the bass response. That's the problem (or was) with my room is I was sitting in a null.

          If you say so. In fact, MF has put the label M6 on several devices and you did not include the "i" in your original post.

          i didnt touch anything and this device set to :
          80HZ 6db bass boost
          Where are you seeing this? AFAIK, there are no crossover or bass controls in the M6i. Do you have a subwoofer?

          so im asking if it can be a problem
          So, I am asking what you are talking about.

            Sounds like the op is using computer audio and is running software that is applying equalization. I also wonder if there might be a language barrier at play here also.

            It may be that the software uses a mic and has detected bass rolloff, and As a consequence has applied correction.

            Getting the best out of your room and system first would minimize the software correction required. If you are concerned I would tone down the correction. The sub idea is another consideration. Personally I prefer good bass over quantity. I have a REL strata 5 but I prefer to keep the 2 channel pure.

            In my experience MF gear is not the warmest in presentation either, if that is what you seek.

              Are B&W 804 Diamond good enough for me?
              by smiletimeDK
              I'm seriously thinking about an upgrade to B&W 804 Diamond, because I love the design. I haven't heard them yet, but I could imagine, that they are much better than my current B&W XT4. I use Thule PR350B as preamp and Thule PA350BV (2x350w) as power amplifer.

              I have used this...

              B&W 804 diamond or previous 803D?
              by blazhnov
              Could you please help me in choosing the better option? I can buy either of these two speakers but new 804 diamond cost by €1.150 more than second-hand 803D. What would be your advice?
