@@GracielaBuenavida I will do that 👍🏻

@@MrBazsi888 I am experimenting different positions but getting closer to the rear wall overloads a bit the bass (not audible through the pine mic). It is a matter of centimeters

@@MrBazsi888 yes but sometimes it likes an elegant preamp too

@@hindagsxr the wattage is not ideal for sure, but i think it has been cut also by the phone mic. I need to find a better one to record these samples

I have also published a video with the same speakers feed by a Parasound A21 if it may help, you can find it here ruclips.net/video/9Nd7CofmEBk/видео.html

I do agree, if you want the bass to be controlled properly you need much more power.

it is "soft Landing" by Hadouk Trio, a great album, wonderfully recorded

@@GoodVibeMilano their albums are all top recording quality for sure

@@xfloodcasual8124 I agree 100% and I love their music too. If you have any suggestion for some more superbly recorded good music please share

I am setting up soon a pair of 801 matrix S3 for the next video, I think the 12" might work better in that room

@@GoodVibeMilano I'd heard that the 15" woofer was pretty tight, and needed some volume to get energized. The older 12" woofer has a very compliant suspension, and sounds a bit "looser". Some might complain about this, but I rather like the more generous output in the 30's. I would be interested in your comments about the older 12" 801 vs. the 15" version.

@@TheMirolab I had done some tests in the past and will release a new video soon with the Matrix S3. I remember that my first impressions were that the 15" requires much more power to be controlled than the 12", at least 200W (you can year this in my other video with the Parasound A21). With less power you have still a deep bass but "long". With the Ongaku you can feel a sort of "loudness" effect under the 100hz as it has difficulties in controlling the driver and keeping it firm.

@@GoodVibeMilano Thanks... I was not referring to the amp power, but rather the volume of playback. Some speakers want to be played more loudly to get the low end energized, while others sound full at low levels. My old 801's are good in this respect, and have good LF at low volume. They are very sensitive to different amplifiers due to the complex load they present, and benefit from a high current capable amplifier.

@@TheMirolab Hello, now I got what you mean. These 801D have a nice bass also at a very low listening level, you do not need to push the volume to beat the inertia of the woofer, it is very reactive. Its "problem" id that you need good watts to control the woofer as it has a very high mass and if you do not have enough damping the should of the bass becomes "long", let me know if I have explained clearly, English is not my mothertongue

Every few years I replace my amplifier or my DAC but I still listen to my very old B&W DM220 !
