I have owned a pair of late model Akubariks Aktiv speakers for a couple of years and despite trying to convince myself others e, they’re simply lacking in bass. I am writing this in the hope that someone else who owns Akubariks (Aktiv or passive) can offer some advice on possible ways to get more bass.
It may turn out to be my room, which is a little lively or else just my overall setup.
I am feeding the Akubariks with an original Selekt with Line out module and Katalyst. The sound, while crystal clear is more like a stand mounted pair of monitors that need a sub woofer. The bass is working, as it is a little noticeable when turned off via the tuning knobs above the amps. I’m about to give up in the things as the Selekt/AkubariksAktiv is far less satisfying than a Naim Uniti Atom feeding a pair of passive Ninkas. The Atom/ Ninka combination has almost 3 times the bass of the Akubariks.
My room is concrete floor, normal drywall and about 24’ x 18’, drywall ceiling. I use Space now and then but it changes little.
I’d appreciate any insight or suggestions about how to figure this out. Are the Linn Class D active Amos really this lame?
Thanks
