Hello all
I have some Q Acoustics Concept 500 speakers. For some tracks they have lovely rich, deep bass and for others they just don't. I don't get it. Can anyone explain why this might be and suggest what I might do about it? Maybe I need to change some of the other components? Or is my system just picking up differences in the way different tracks are recorded?
My system is Naim ND5XS/Leema Tucana 1/Chord Signature cables and jumpers. Room is 6m x 6m with very high ceilings (think barn conversion). I listen to a a wide range of music but at the moment it's a lot of prog and I guess what you might call soft rock.
I have tried all kinds of speaker positions and listening positions but it doesn't seem to really resolve the issue.
I like the way the Concept 500s present music as if it were hanging in the air so I don't really want to get rid of them if at all possible.
I tried connecting my Rapsberry Pi to the Tucana and using the equaliser in Picoreplayer. This did seem to improve the situation. This got me thinking about adding an equaliser in somehow. What about using the Naim as a streamer and inserting an RME ADI-2 (or other device) into the chain? Does that make any sense?
If anyone has any insights I'd be most grateful.
