What would the brains trust tackle first in this equation?
I’m looking for a little more punch in my living room, bass particularly is getting lost. Speakers seem to be particularly hungry or don’t deal well with reflective surfaces. Living room is glass, stone and timber, with only a sheer curtain and a cat for absorption. Obtrusive soundproofing will not wash with the boss. Room is ~8x7m, speakers on the longer wall.
NAD C368 into B&W 684 floor standers via decent, but 12-14m long, shielded cables. Source, hard drive/ internet radio mostly or project turntable/ tascam CD.
Amp is rated at 80w, speakers are asking for 25-150w.
- Buy the 150w version of the amp
- Subwoofer
- Replace speakers with something less demanding
- Soundproof the hell out of the room as discretely as possible
- Get another cat as the only aesthetically pleasing method of introducing some soft furnishing
