Hi Chris,

I find the 604's to be much more dynamic than any of the other speakers I've owned, except of course for my Model 19's that I foolishly sold many years ago. What I like about these drivers is the liveliness of the presentation, which to me, provides greater dynamic swings than many other speakers.

I owned VonSchweikert VR-4's, and while they were an excellent system with incredible bass response, they were very subdued. If I gave the VR-4's a 10 for bass, my current 604 system would probably rank a 4 or 5 overall. I just can't figure out why I'm lacking bass using an enclosure of this size!

I went the "purist" route many years ago, buying stuff without tone controls, etc., but it has crossed my mind to try an active XO or equalizer. I've even considered one of the XO's that you set up the mic's in the room, and it automatically determines the proper settings, but I would suspect they're expensive, and I already have a small fortune invested in these speakers as it is.

I took the "money is no object" approach with the cabinets, because I thought this was the last speaker system I'd ever buy!
