A couple people have suggested sealed servo subs - how much harder does a sealed 12" hit than the OB subs? I'm worried that won't be enough. I used to have (2) Paradigm 15" subs, and while they were a lot muddier, they honestly were more fun to listen to.
I listen to almost everything. The OB subs are great for Jazz, softer rock, etc. They are really lacking (for me) when it comes to rock, pop, or even the very occasional rap(ish) type song.
NoahH - I don't know how much to be concerned by my results. My room has always been weird. It has drywall, but just on the other side of the drywall on 3 sides is concrete. I've battled with room acoustics, but to answer Hobbs question - the room is extensively treated. There is a lot of bass trapping as well as additional wall and ceiling absorption panels and the entire front and back wall are quadratic diffusion. My frequency sweeps are very smooth - I'm getting bass - I just don't feel the impact of the bass. You don't get the rumble in your chest, the sensation of the bass.
Hobbs - As mentioned above the room is extensively treated. Frequency sweeps are smooth throughout the bass region (I've messed with every conceivable amp setting). The bass is actually very consistent throughout the room - no null at the listening position.
The tracks you chose are not indicative of the type of bass I'm talking about missing - particularly the Allison Kraus song. That kind of bass, which is supposed to be fast and tight sounds good. What it's missing is the real "hit" on stronger bass stuff - think more along the lines of James Blake "Limit to your Love" - or some Post Malone or something.
