Has anyone out there had the experience of totally missing the bass that is supposed to be so prodigous in the Mani 2s? To me they sound shouty, boxy, and bass shy. OK, I don't drive them with huper high end electronics, but the YBA, Haefler, and PS power amps I do own should be good enough to get an honest representation of this speaker. Is the whole bass thing the emporer's new clothes? Does one need to spend another 5000 in amplification to get them to sound any good? Is there a scam out there where people remove the inner woofer?
What the heck?
