Soundbase setting up advice needed
Posted by: Rasher on 28 September 2003
My SBL's have lived on the carpet for ages, with some Mana Soundbases (MDF) sitting looking at me waiting for me to set up properly. I have played with them, but always seem to remove them as I am never satisfied that I've got it perfect - so tonight I spent a whole evening determined to get them in properly once and for all.
First thing that strikes me is the brightness of the sound and the loss of warmth that's always been there before. There is another octave of bass, but no increase in "bassiness" of the overall sound. I feel the soundstage has compressed slightly too, and CD's that probably are not the best recordings have become a bit worse.
What I need to know is:
Is this the general character of soundbases?
Have I got them set up wrong again?
Will they get better if I leave them a while?
Is it worth the agro?
Sigh...
I have used Mana instructions to the letter, and I was very precise.
