Where s the bass?


My system - Sony CD player, Pass Labs X0 preamp & X600 amps, Thiel 7.2 and Transparent Reference cables. I believe the sound is open, transparent, and dynamics. However I just wish I could put an emphasis on the bottom end. Tone controls are not available on high quality Class A preamps, such as the X0. While I understand that adding one more component in the signal paths is not desirable as it will further degrade the sound, I would like to hear your opinions on the best way to boost the bottom end. Thank you.

get a pair of hi-quality subs. that way ewe don't have to compromise the thiel's imaging/soundstaging to get better bass. whil i personally prefer passive subs w/an outboard electric x-over & separate amplification, i'm prolly in the minority here, as most prefer active subs w/built-in electronics. no matter, get subs! :>) while i no longer use 'em in my main system, my thiel 3.5's, flat down to 20hz, benefitted from subs...

good luck, doug s.
