Anybody Felt Lower-End ARC preamps Bass-Shy?


Any folks here who upgraded their lower-range Audio Research preamps to better ones and noticed a considerable improvement in the bass department? I own the LS-16 and thought the bass doesn't go to deep. Will the LS25 or LS26 have much better bass compared to the LS-16?

Thanks in advance.

My father owns the LS16 and he has incredible bass with Vandersteen Wood Quatro speakers, maybe your speakers or room or even placement could be an issue. I am not saying for sure the LS16 is not the problem or that any other equipment and so forth are your issue, simply the LS16 performs great in my experience.
