Hi all, i know this sounded silly but i bought VXT8 speakers for part of my sound system, got it pretty cheap at about $650 for a pair. My intention is to setup a music listening system with minor occasion movie. I don't intend to spend a lot thus i just grab the pair and think it's a good deal. I tested VXT4 in a treated room in a shop and i felt that the bass is sufficient, punchy and trebble sounded clear, then i thought VXT8 should be even better on bass.
When i setup the speakers in my living room(not treated), the bass is very minimal and hardly can be felt unless i crank up the volume that can disturb my neighbour. I use a low end media player playing flac files. I set the bass switch on the speakers to highest. It improved just slightly, but not punchy. I tried using a dvd player to playback some CD music (same songs that i burn to flac), surprisingly the quality improved especially on the trebble but i am still not satisfy with the bass, it's not even near the standard i heard from the VXT4 in the shop.
Before i invest on another type of equipment, need your guys input what should i buy next? DAC? Preamp? How can i improve the bass? Treat the room(last resort, wife will not agree on this)? What went wrong?
