• Anyone use a graphic eq in their set-up? I have a 70s Yamaha CA600 amp and some 70’s Celestion UL6 speakers, which I love. I love the squishy 70s vibe and the top end detail but getting satisfying low end, especially at lower volumes can be tricky. I know the speakers can dish it out because they do fine when I crank bass-heavy stuff, but I’d like a way of tinkering with the low end EQ a bit. EQ seems to have gone right out fashion, so I was hoping I could find something suitable for a good price. Any recommendations?

  • Have a look at MiniDSP, can be used as a powerful software EQ and a crossover to add a sub or two, which is what you need if you want 40-80hz.

    That's what the loudness knob is for. The owners manual on Hifiengine explains how it works. Looks as though you can adjust up to +/- 10db, which should be plenty.

    If you can't get good bass at +1odb at lower volumes, then something else is probably the matter.
