Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ?

I have an MC275 and love it, but would like tighter bass. By moving to MC501's, will there be any loss in the fine detail the MC275 has?
thanks,
Ted.

The 805's are great speakers, but will not thunder on their lowest frequencies...Nice system, as is.

Well that's a little more information, but not as much as I was hoping for. If you have your amps bridged, you have more than enough power, and more than enough damping, to get loud, tight bass out of your 805's. Are your amps located right next to each speaker, using short speaker cables? What brand/model cables are they.
