Does Your Wife/Partner Like Bass?

[Macca]

For me it'll be like a roller coaster at Alton Towers where you have to queue all day. After reading about them on this thread, I looked into those JBL 4367's and they look like just the ticket. But first I will need to sell the old speakers, my bike, the car, and my body. Then I will find that my puny SET amp needs changing too, because that roller coaster needs a bigger motor to drag it up the hill.

Oh and get myself a bigger listening room.

With perseverance and money we'll get there eventually, if we don't die first.

The picture I posted is of the 4365 which are 10 grand so you might have to sell Mrs Pony too. Although that would kill two birds with one stone.

Women probably have forums where they complain about men not being able to smell flowers

[struth]

women are always talking to each other about their flowers

It may seem that way, but sometimes they may be discussing Harry Potter films when they talk about wizards' sleeves. Or the quickest way out of Liverpool when they mention the Mersey tunnel. Or that film starring Jason Statham, Brad Pitt and Vinnie jones. Can't remember its name.

I dont understand this because it just has to be a good quality bass relative to the sound.....when the bass goes low it can really enhance the record....Im thinking James Blake off the top of my head or any track where that bass hits 20hz in a more subtle way if I can put it like that.

Im not talking brash thumping bass or some subwoofer units which are often tweaked up far too much. I have PA speakers with 12" drivers...yes they go brash at extremes but at lower levels they are very good. You can have 12" drivers in your home as they dont take up that much more room than a mid sized speaker with stand

The Royd Minstrels put out superb bass for what they are so the bass doesnt even have to come from big drivers to give a feel of satisfaction. The thing with the minstrels is that the bass doesnt feel artificially enhanced which some smaller speakers are guilty of.

Bass is needed and recording tech has got better. Ok some people dont like boom boom dance music but the lower registers in a good pop or classical track really make it.

Even at my budget level I can get a sense of bass done properly. It doesnt have to be overwhelming in a bad way

Mrs Gaz has one of those wedge shaped Pure clock/radio/CD alarms on her bedside table, according to her the only difference between that and my system is that mine is louder.

Yeah but does yours tell the time?

At least my Mrs does appreciate the sound of my system.
She says she's been spoiled by my system and that if I snuff it a cheap setup wouldn't be good enough

I'm kind of pleased with that unsolicited review!

I take that to mean that when you snuff it she'll get the Xtremes:wink:

[jandl100]

No, I don't think she meant it like that.
