Adding pics that were removed by Google Plus.

Since owning these, there have been a handful of times I have forgotten to turn on my two Turbo MFW15 amps, and didn't notice because these LS6s put out so much low end.

Adding bass with a sub is not really an issue with the LS line.  Managing the bass has been the sticky issue.  In my case, lots of room treatments were needed to get the in room response where I wanted it, but once there, there are few other speakers that can do what the LS's do.

I get around that by not measuring the room response.  :wink:  I just tweak it until my ears like what they hear.  I'm confident my curve is way heavy on the low and maybe the high end, but until I move to another house, the WAF factor won't permit acoustic treatments, so I don't even bother measuring.

These look great! Enjoy them.

Getting the bass right in my room has been impossible, even with extensive treatment. I just decided to give up a month ago, after four years of trial and error, and placed an order for some new speakers.

There are things that the LS series does so well, that I fear the change, but flat as possible frequency response is paramount to me.

They are great speakers. Well done.  :thumb:

Hey King, Nice to know you are still rockin the LS6!  What does the chain of equipment look like these days? 

I'm in a new home.  It's a former vacation rental in the redwoods in Nor. Cal.  The Knotty Pine dances on the walls.  I found great relief with a product called the DSpeaker AntiMode.  It is a DAC and a Room correction system.  Everything tightened up and the soundstage moved out about another 4 feet on each side.  It does most of the magic from 200Hz and down.  There is more to it.  See if you can find someone in your town with one. 

Love the build on this thread
