Ok it's just there's an difference between more bass and faster/punchier bass. The Howards should certainly have enough bass in your room but it isn't the fastest I've heard. (I owned a pair for a few months about 6 years ago).You properly right but I have listened to all kinds of music on the Howard and actually like what I hear. I find them highly musical and right sounding.
It’s only a bit more bass I am looking for.
Good callIt’s worth checking the speakers cables are wired in phase !
At the amplifier the positive speaker cable connections must relate to the positive terminals at the speaker. Same for the negative.If one connection is wrong you will be out of phase and loose loads of bass ,And how do I check that?
also i know you have, but check the jumper plates are on the rear terminals ,people take them off to upgrade with jumper cablesAt the amplifier the positive speaker cable connections must relate to the positive terminals at the speaker.

Castle tell you to invert them it's in the manual same with Harlech which I had.someone said turn them upside down but the Howards have an upward firing speaker that could get damaged
Thinking of it if you invert them onto a flat surface, they would just clear the surface by a few mim, as the top speaker cover sits behind a lip to the front of the speakerCastle tell you to invert them it's in the manual same with Harlech which I had.
Maybe, but as mentioned earlier you risk some potential damage to the up-facing driver by doing so (plus it will be very unsteady and will need supporting). Putting them on their side, as I mentioned earlier, is safer and makes it a one-person job to do. Worth having a bit of sponge or similar to put under the plinth-end of the main enclosure, to give it some support so that when you undo the last bolt, the cabinet doesn't suddenly drop. That's what I used to do with my Harlechs when I altered the spacingCastle tell you to invert them it's in the manual same with Harlech which I had.
I don't think I'd be comfortable with that but each has their own acceptable level of risk I suppose. Get someone to hold the cabinets while you unbolt as there won't be anything much to stop them toppling overThinking of it if you invert them onto a flat surface, they would just clear the surface by a few mim, as the top speaker cover sits behind a lip to the front of the speaker

Trust me, on a carpet or soft cloth with grill on they will neither topple or be damaged and you won't need anybody to steady then.I don't think I'd be comfortable with that but each has their own acceptable level of risk I suppose.
