The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's

I have been looking at and listening to many speakers but every time I come home to my DQ-10's I still enjoy them most. Their flaw, and the reason I'm looking, is the bass driver and/or the bass enclosure. The sound is not "tight" or "punchy" enough. I've read that this can be alleviated with certain amps. (Although I am skeptical). I've even contemplated changing the bass driver and bass enclosure.

MY QUESTIONS: Is there a speaker out that has the same mid's and high's but with "tight" bass? Is there an amp that really could tighten this "loose" bass? (No suggestions over 2k used market).

SETUP: I have a Rega Planet cd player and Rega 25 turntable feeding an Audible Illlusions 3A pre-amp with Amperex gold pin 6922's going into a Rotel 980BX 100 watt per channel amp.

ALL HELP APPRECIATED - THANKS

I have some experience with teses speakers. The bass section needs alot of current. We tried a set with a Bryston 3b..not enough power. The amp kept clipping. Then we tried the 4B and it was excellent.

The 4B will control the bass with your speakers It has the power current and damping factor. Make sure the surrounds on your woofers are not dried out. That will change the compliance and muddy the bass.
