I wear foam ear plugs so I’m very used to setting the sound and then putting up with the “tone” I hear through the plugs. Have you considered something like ACS Pro 17s? They aren't cheap, but attenuate relatively flat across the frequency range (especially compared to foamies!) so will still give you a sense of your tone. They are also reusable - I don't use mine that much these days as I have Custom IEMs, but mine (old ER15s but basically the same thing, just earlier model) are 15 years old and still going strong!

Count Bassy Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Are you sure that it is more 'oomph' you need rather than 'Heft'. Very different things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different things. How so? To me they are synonymous so very interested in a diametrically opposite interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me they are synonymous so very interested in a diametrically opposite interpretation. I don't think anyone claimed them to be diametrically opposite, they are related, but there is a reason that there are several words that means only slightly different things, it's in the semantic nuances. Synonymous words while similar semantically are often not entirely identical so while two synonyms will share a majority of annotations and connotations, some would be differently weighted as well as some would still be completely unique to either respectively. "Oomph" for instance would suggest "punch" to a much higher degree than "heft" necessarily would. "Oomph" to a higher degree suggests "impact", where "heft" to a higher degree suggests "weight/mass", they are of course that way very closely related, I suppose you could say two aspects of the same phenomena, but with main focus on two different aspects of that same phenomena, and while it is actually possible to imagine contexts where you would have one without the other. While this might seem like nitpicking what it really is is just addressing the importance of clear communication as most people are in fact not mind readers.

ukbassboy Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Note that they will let you swap the filters in them within the first 60 days, so if you get the 17s and feel like you need more or less attenuation they will let you swap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geddeeee Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I paired 2 Orange OBC112 with my Terror Bass head. Very lightweight and portable stack. Looks small but is an absolute beast. Loads of low end punch and definition. Impressive stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_nottm Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Soot. “Oomph” wasn’t specific but I mean that feel through the floor, the size of the sound. I don’t struggle for volume or mids or cutting through, but I can sometimes feel like I’m loud enough but I don’t feel the bass, just hear it very good points about location in the room though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 For me... Oomph... push 'n go... breathing out Heft... the after effects of a stop - damping control, just before breathing in.... Like a nicely tuned exhaust system, air box induction heft... Oomph fuel air mix 'Zorst pipe... Speaker Size... 10" min... Thats what i really like about my Marshall MB30, a 10" cone... a lot of other 30ish use an 8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Try a modern lightweight single 12. They’ve come a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
