Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass?


My system: Opera Consonance 120 Linear CDP, Extensively modded Jolida 302B, Silverline SR 17.5 monitors. AudioArt Speaker wire. Various IC's. Short of buying a sub, what is biggest bang-for-buck upgrade to tighten bass? Wire? PowerConditioning? ("currently" I have just an upgraded cryo-treated outlet) Better footers? (I have vibrapods and cones). I've got about $350 to spend on this... I know-- that's not much-- maybe my goal and my budget are mutually exclusive. Still, any suggestions would be appreciated!

Just a guess, but I have never had much luck putting speakers near any walls, not to mention corners.

If you want to use the room as a tone control of sorts, often better to bring the speakers out from the walls, and push the back of your listening chair against the wall.

Still guessing, but I would think this would also dramatically improve the imaging of your Silverline speakers.

Not sure how this might complicate your decorating, but you asked about tightening up the bass, not your marriage.

Good luck.
