Re: G.T. Line S bass/subwoofer

Much obliged. Tomorrow, I will verify the speaker balance.

G.T. Line S bass/subwoofer

Salutations everyone,

Since I've had to use the "equaliser" to boost the bass to +10 in order to achieve any discernible bass response from the posh HK sound system, I was hoping to hear some opinions on the subwoofer and bass response in general. And even then, there is absolutely no sub-bass in ...

Climbing the Pennines was definitely out of our league, class 642.
