Filling out the sound

I have recently acquired Rega’s upper-end equipment (Saturn, R-7 speakers, Cursa pre, Exon Monblocks, P7) and am NOT that impressed with the overall listening experience. This is setup in a large room w/hardwood floors.

Some years back I had Conrad Johnson pre and power, Vandersteens and listened to vinyl on CJ’s Sonograph table. How sweet, full and warm that sounded. I realize that was tube equipment and now I’m with dryer solid state, but still…

So, I’m trying to recapture some of the lower/midrange warmth and body (upper end is fine).Mapleshade puts forth that their maple bases and brass footers will bring up the bass – is this so? Does anyone have any other ideas to “fill out the sound”

Thanks

you should spend some time looking into room acoustics, treatment options, and speaker placement. Actually reverse what I just wrote...speaker placement, then room treatments, then room acoustics to make sure the treatment options are what you need.

good luck!
