Patrick, thanks for the suggestion about absorption panels. That just might do the trick.
I agree with you that using tone controls normaly won't be beneficial, and the reason for getting the Kolektor is not because of the tonecontrols, but for the sake of a better preamp. Despite that I am still interested in doing a comparison with the Kolektor with the bass increased with 1-2 knotches.
Actually sometimes I find it interesting to go back to a not so good system to find why I keep on defending the amount of time, effort and money put into your own. This friday I had a listen to a system with a X-Box as source, a Denon multichannel-amp and a pair of huge Dali speakers. The speakers were more expensive than my Katans (according to the owner). And there was a subwoofer hidden away too. The music was just not there, no matter what I listened to.
So tunewise it was awful. But the other interesting part was that compared to my setup there was about the same amount of bass, so I'm getting more and more sure that my tonal balance isn't that much off.
Gavin, it is true that the treble cards have a dial to setup the active cards. The bass, of course, not having one. The dial has the same function as Patricks dip-switches have, the only difference is that you can reach the dial without opening the amp:s case.
Best regards,
Christian
