The Line 3 is certainly not shy in bass and dynamics. I've heard tighter bass but I would look more at the amp/speakers. Have you tried tube rolling?
Upgrading Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE to ???
Have owned the unit a few years now, think it's time to upgrade to something better. I am happy with the midrange, top end, soundstage, transparency and all are important to me. One area I think I can use more is bass weight and dynamic, but don't want to lose any of the strength. Also like to have both SE & XLR input/output.
Have considered the following:
BAT VK-51SE
Aesthetix Calypso
ARC Ref 2 Mk II
???
Rest of my system is in flux, but what will stay is BAT VK-75SE, SF Amati Homage, VPI SSM Signature w/ Shelter 901.
I might add a solid state amp like Pass XA or X.5 series and still keep the tube amp, might upgrade my SF Phono 1SE to something else as well if I change my pre.
