Bought a pair of 4430's awhile back but they ended up in storage so I never really got to play them. With my 4350's getting the cabinets redone the 4430's are now front and centre in my room.
My first impression is that the speakers really lack authoritative bass. The bass is there but does not have the impact I imagine it would/should. Doing some research it was recommended that I bypass the rotary the switch. Upon doing this and upgrading some of the internal wire to a larger gauge I was excited to hear any improvement. The bass is more present now but still not what I expected. Especially in the mid-bass area, they just don't have the slam I was hoping to hear.
Maybe I am spoilt by the 4350's or maybe something is wrong? I don't expect them to be like the 4350's but I was hoping to be somewhat impressed.
Any input as to what may have gone amiss? Or maybe confirmation that 4430's being a two-way somehow robs the 2235 of delivering that slam I am used to.
I have plenty of quality power on hand so I can dismiss that as a culprit.
