My Setup - arasound - Adcom - McIntoshNo Low-end?

I cabled up my system today after several years of sitting in the box. The only thing that has changed is my amplifier, I now own an Adcom GFA 5500, previously a Carver A500X.

Components: Parasound P/LD 1100 Preamp, Denon DCD-1290, Adcom GFA 5500, Audioquest Viper interconnects, McIntosh XR14 loudspeakers.

My issue: no low-end at all. Everything is very tight, but no bass to speak of. I seem to remember more low-end puch while running with the Carver (like the floor thumping?), but it has been quite some time and I am not sure.

I appreciate any input to steer me in the right direction.

Elizabeth,

Thanks for your response. I swapped the XR14's with a pair of Bose 10.2's I was using in my home theater setup and there is a marked improvement. The Bose speaks don't have the clarity of the XR14's, but the low-end is definately noticable. This sets my mind in motion now wondering what to do for speaks.
