    Lost oomph after recap Marantz 1060

    Hey, I've just had a Marantz 1060 recapped, obviously I expect a slight sound change when that's done, but I don't think I was ready for just how much bass I seem to have lost. An old hiss is now gone, and the mid and highs seem a lot clearer, but I've also lost the tight punch and low end...

    Sansui Eight Bass

    I recently acquired an excellent condition Sansui Eight and was very excited to fire it up once I finally found a power cord after hearing all the rave about how great this receiver is. To my disappointment I was shocked when I fired it up and it simply paled in comparison to my Sansui 2000x and...

    YAMAHA CR-620 receiver not enough base, any suggestions.

    About a month ago I got YAMAHA CR-620 (1977) in mint condition, fantastic looking piece with minimal design, all I had to do is to replace lights, it has great high and mid range, but lows are my question. It's my first vintage Yamaha receiver, so I'm trying to learn more about it and get more...

    Can I install passive radiators into a speaker box with regular full-range speakers?

    I'm hoping to build wooden enclosures for these PC speakers I have. The drivers I'll be using will come from 2 different 2.0 PC speaker systems, and I'll be putting one driver from each into each "new" enclosure. I would also like to put passive radiators into the new enclosures. I've heard in...

    Does the amplifier impact the quality of bass in hybrid speaker systems?

    Hello, So I am thinking about (not planning to buy, just wondering} hybrid speaker systems e.g. Gryphon speakers or Paradigm Persona 9H, and there are few thing that bother me. Let's say we have weak 8W tube amp which on it's own doesn't have very impressive bass, and now we plug it into our...

    Headphones for speaker comparisons

    Any thoughts on headphones for comparisons of loudspeaker tonality? I'm comparing loudspeakers vs headphone overall frequency response. I do realize its apples vs oranges but I've yet to find a pair of headphones locally and under $300 that don't sound peaked at bass and high treble.

    Should I use this passive radiator?

    I have a 2.0 PC speaker system, whose drivers have a diameter of 70mm (that's the diameter that actually moves, if that's of any use). Will the passive radiators shown below be suitable for these PC speakers? I've read elsewhere that a PR should have at least the same diameter as the driver, but...

    Bass through speakers

    I've got a pair of 70W Pioneer speakers and I've been curious of if I could hook them up to the left and right channels(35W) and split the sub channel(60W) to them also. In my head theoretically if I were to do this each speaker could receive 65W but I'm not sure how it actually works.

    Sansui 990DB with weak bass...filter caps?

    Greetings, fellow AK'ers, I have a Sansui 990DB that I have been slowly revitalizing over the past couple of years. Overall the unit is in great shape with clear, balanced sound out of both channels, but the bass leaves a lot to be desired. No matter what speakers I've connected it to, the bass...

    Passive subwoofer vs. Active subwoofer

    Hi, I have a budget of $100 and I'm wanting to add some bass to my PC setup. I'm trying to decide whether I should go for a used passive subwoofer, or a used active one. The idea of a passive subwoofer really appeals to me because of the flexibility. With an active sub, I would be limited to the...
