The Record Spot/anyone,,,some advice please.
I purchased a rather nice pair of Mission 752 speakers (original version, tweeter above Bass/Midrange driver) but need some advice on set up.
I have them mounted on spikes, slightly towed in but due to room environment cant position them closer than about 2 Feet from the rear wall. The result is they dont do quiet to mid volume. Unless I drive them to party volume levels there is very little Bass punch. The Bass extension is there but no punch.
At the high volume level the tweeters sound harsh and I could say "nasty" especially with poor recordings.
They are driven by 4 monoblock 40W/channel RMS amplifiers which sound awseome with my Kef Q300's on the end of them. The Kef's being very "punchy" but obviously being a stand mount are lacking in Bass extension. Due to downsizing from a 5.1 system to 2 channel (best sound for music and music DVD's imo) I wanted a pair of floorstanding speakers to give a fuller, deeper sound.
Before I throw in the towel and sell them on is there anything I can try to rectify this without changing the rest of my set up which would be madness as the speakers were cheap and a stop gap until I can afford some Epos Epic 5's.
Some thoguhts and advice please.
Cheers
