Gently push the woofer in it should fight to push back to the stationary position.Ok, I'm starting to think my new Beta's servo system isn't working. What is the best way to test it? The tap test seems to product the same results on or off.

Does the low frequency level knob have any effect? I'd start with that, also the obvious stuff like checking the cables. Also, is the green Servo LED on?
Also, regarding the expected bass, the servo won't increase the amount of bass but it should make it more accurate. Not sure if that's what you meant by "bass isn't what I expected".
When I auditioned a pair of betas a few years ago the guy didn't have the servo wires connected to the bass towers, the bass was boomy and twice as loud as when the servo wires were connected, with wires connected the bass was much tighter, same with my epsilons, I would try it with the wires disconnected and see if it sounds different to you, then re connect the wires and compare the sound, MAKE SURE THE SERVO AND AMPS ARE OFF WHEN DISCONNECTING WIRES.Tried this, no push back in either speaker. This makes sense, I thought the bass wasn't what I expected and thought it was my room. What's the next step to try to troubleshoot the issue?
I think it's working, do the push test on the woofer with the wire disconnected and then connected to see the difference in how the woofer feels when pushing it in, I did it on my epsilon and with the wires connected it just made the woofer feel stiffer or slightly harder to push in.Okay, it must be working as I just pulled the servo cables and the bass level increased dramatically and sounded boomy/bloated. So, I guess it is working but the push back and tap test don't prove much?
the farther out into the room you can put them (assuming the room is large enough in the first place), the less the room boundary will have an effect and the cleaner the bass should be.
