wake up call! ns1000's
ive just had a wake up call with my ns1000's we all know the bass is the weak point but 'stevestd' just brought over a pair of dynaudio bookshelf speakers for me to listen too and im shock at the bass these little speakers pump out! not only do they have more punch but they go deeper as well.
im gobsmacked!!
can the bass on the yamahas be improved to a less embarrassed level?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I thought my little mecom Heybrook hb2’s sounded deeper too but that just isn’t possible 🤷🏼*♂️
The Radfords definitely went lower .

A mate of mine had some Dynaudio bookshelf monitors that went ridiculously deep, but the bass was not good quality atall.. The Yamaha bass is so clean, fast and tuneful that I have often thought that others produce more but they don't.

Hi Jamie
I wont be drawn into this debate on how low a speaker can go.
What i will say is your the man sat listening to the music and if your perceptions is a speaker sounds as if ithas more impact or sounds as if it goes lower in the bass register then trust your ears.
I take no notice of frequency response on paper or from a machine telling me it goes lower.
It's more about how it sounds when playing your favourite tunes
As for coments about loose or wooly base from the Dynaudios you heard, I'll let you be the judge on that
Anyway it was a great day
Thanks
