Hello all,
Today I finally got the amp to bring together my setup, which is as follows:
Source file over USB to Steinburg UR22 interface
6.3mm line out converted to mono and fed into amp
Gemtune SMSL SA-50 amp (50watts a side)
Dali Zensor 3s
They do sound pretty wonderful at a vocal and above range - but they're missing a lot down below that. I can get them to produce low bass, and there's air being shot out the bass port - but it's very quiet. I got the Zensor 3s after a lot of research, and I know they're supposed to be full sounding speakers with a decent bottom end, and my listening environment is quite a small space that should be pretty easy to fill, the lack of bass is quite noticeable.
The only thing I could suspect of causing this is the amp, but the amp outputs more than enough power for the Zensors, which are rated for 25-150watt amps. Could anyone offer any insight on this dilemma? I have heard of improved bass response after a break in period in amateur reviews, but I suspect the difference wouldn't be drastic enough to cover 'little bass to speak of into filled out'.
Furthermore, if this is the amp - it's still a functional unit, and I don't have the money to buy another. I could try and scrimp something together, and I'd be willing to if I could, as I love me some good muzacks ( B) ), but what could I find at a scrimp-able price point?
Thanks!
