Integrated tube amp has no bass Cayin A50T

Hi folks,

So I just bought a Cayin A50T (used, but well looked after), I have set it up at home and found that there is extremely little low end. it's very very noticeable.

Im powering Energy pro series 3.5 bookshelf speakers so nothing too crazy.

I'm very new to this hobby so I would greatly appreciate some help. I doubt the seller will take the amp back.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I own the same amp and it successfully works with Gradient Revolution speakers ( 85 dB )!I use standard Shuguang EL34s and on 'special' occasions the Svetlanas (SED), wonderful tubes.
Do not sell it quickly, the amp is excellent value.

I had that amp and lack of bass was not a problem with my Devore 9s. If I recall, you can run the amp triode or pentode, the pentode setting has more power and better bass control.
