Grandinote Mach 8 XL vs Mach 9 speakers

Yes you have, see posts #73 and #74 and you even commented on #73. They both have quite good bass.

Ok, with audion etc. I will listen again later don't remember now but I think I liked the videos that Abeidrov was later sharing with the Jadis - Grandinote - Gryphon. It was sounding like a decent set up one can listen various music on.
 
2018 the best sound of the show volta dac, shinai amp + mach 9

P.S grandinote shinai with soundkaos same league

Btw, your Gryphon does play the Rabin better than the Jadis and the Grandinote amp on my earphones, will listen on soundbox later.
No, it does not. Please, listen to the tone of violin with Mephisto. It’s shouty and lacks body compared to the own Grandinote amp.

Again, this is not the type of music I am talking about. Just one or two instruments. I tried Mahler 5th and Beethoven 9th and 7th. The results were the same. To quote one experienced audiophile, who was visiting me at the time: “Mahler sounds more convincing with WA speakers.”
 
As I demonstrated with other videos, as well hearing them live, the speakers can produce outstanding bass. Why they don’t apparently in Abeidrovs’s room probably has to do with his room, not the speakers. Your analysis disregards these facts.
The room doesn't affect break - in and sure the room can and will have an influence on bass output at the listening spot. But it doesn't change my statement above, it's physics.
 
It is very easy to create more bass, disregarding quality of sound.
Yes, add subs. For quality, integrate well and employ high - quality subwoofers. You can also move your speakers and sweet spot and even room treatment can help sometimes.

Ok as I said I will listen on soundbox later I am at work so only heard on earphones. Compared to Jadis it has more nuance and dynamic range. My earphones are not best for playback

Just by putting bigger woofers and bigger boxes and not having coherence with top you can get more bass. FYI he is not referring to subs with either speaker

If you are looking for a more dynamic, bigger soundstage and more thrilling musicality from a speaker, then listen to Analog Domain Argus. That speaker does impressive every time i listen to it.

We're talking passed each other. He's talking about his speakers in this post, there is no option to expand the cabinets, etc.

Also, yes, I mentioned subs as a way for more bass with the same speakers.
