My Mordaunt Short

I use to have Mordaunt Short speakers, with the large 10” side facing woofer, luved them but they were hard to place with those side facing woofers.

so with one glass door on one side and open wall on the other, how is your bass?

very similar to my place, 4m glass door on one side (with drapes) 2m side wall them 2.5m open wall.  I think this is what cancels some of my bass.  The open wall opens to a tiled highly reflective entrance.  I feel I need to tame the entrance, but not 100% sure

I used to have NHT Classic 4 and Mission 782 speakers like that. They took a bit of playing with to get right for sure. 

My bass, without sub reinforcement is actually very good. I’m imagining the bass sees the glass on the left and no wall on the right in a similar way acoustically. And with the curtains drawn closed over the closed glass doors, the rest is perfectly balanced and centered evenly between the speakers. The right wall is about 7m away at the other end of the kitchen (combined kitchen/dining space with speakers firing across the room). 
 

With the sub (placed centrally between speakers, low passed at about 35Hz/12dB/0°) the spectral balance changes a bit down low of course but, the whole thing is much more immersive and gains scale and “epicness”.
