Sorry for the rather silly question as I'm sure it is very system/room specific really. However, I was just curious for the Montis owners out there, what bass control setting do you have your speakers set at?
Personally, I have my Montis at -7 and for classic rock, I tend to bump up the knob to -4. Speakers are in a room that is 13 ft wide x 16 ft long (speakers setup across short wall). The speakers are 4 ft from the back wall and 2.5 ft from side walls. The wall behind my seat has a wide entrance (no door) and a huge portal next to the entrance....so essentially very open with hardly any back wall.
I used to have Vantage speakers and the bass knob didn't really do much in my room. I have to say, for the Montis, the bass knob is very sensitive and really affects the overall tone of the music, including vocals, clarity and micro-detail. And to think, I used to have it set at 0. After I read a review (may have been Stereophile) where the reviewer had it set at -8, I tried speakers at that level and realized how much cleaner the speakers sounded and how the upper-mids/highs cleared up or perhaps opened up.
