sign.vandersteen with solid state w/without subs

i am using 2ce signature vandersteen speakers. i am using them with a good tube pre and power with a Q sub woofer. the midrange and highs are suberb and the low end is very good , especially the lower cycles because of the sub, but i believe i am missing, i am hearing it but it never seems to get to me, the mid bass and i am thinking it is the tubed power amp. i know the soldi state is going , i believe to give me more presence and punch in the mid bass, is that me thinking that or what? i don't want to mess with mids highs, but has anyone done the comparison between solid state and tubed with the Q sub woofer? thanks

Sounds like the crossovers might be cutting the bass out a bit much. Changeing the crossovers to a lower value will send more bass to the speakers, your mid bass... THere is also a adjustment on the back of the speaker for bass you could try knocking it up one.

But if you are hearing it I aggreee with the above could just be the room is it a concreat floor? YOu would be suprised how sitting on dofferent coutches helps and hurts bass because some dampen it from you more than others.
