Vandersteen 2C contour controls +-


So I have recently changed cables between my pre amp (ARC SP4) and amp (ARC VT60) and it made a significant difference: more detail and a better centered soundstage. But I lost quite a bit of punch in the low end. I like the effect of the new cables enough to keep them in.

If I want to use the Vandersteen contour controls to get some of the low end back do I dial it down... or up?

I’m assuming turning the bass contour down will lower the crossover point, effectively getting more from the low end.

Is this correct?

Alternatively, perhaps the mid and treble controls are turned up too high in relation to the bass at any given sound level.  Their relative setting to the bass may have changed from the old to the new wires.
