if you stand in the corner behind the speakers is the bass sounding heavy and excessive? If so you have a bass standing wave problem in your room which needs some treatment to eliminate it.
Amp/Preamps to go with Snell B Minors?
I've listened to my Snell B Minors with multiple amps. Adcom 545, B&K 3220, Classe CAV-75, McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe, and Ayre V-5x. I've also used multiple types of preamps. Higher end preamps have almost always seemed to provide improvements, but not the amps.
The bass still sounds bloated and as a salesman recently stated, "tubby". The Ayre was actually one of the worst sounding (maybe exposing too much design weakness?), the McCormack the best with the Classe a close second.
The bass goes low enough, it just has no authority and seems real "loosey-goosey". Anyone recommend something to help wrestle the side-firing 12" woofers?
