Audio Research LS 26

Hi, I´m thinking of buying an AR LS 26, based on the reviews and what i can afford.   My problem is the BASS, I´ve read that a lot of people are not at all happy with the bass from this pre amp???

I have the Infinity IRS BETA,  so bass is a very BIG issue since i have 8 x  12 inch servo driven woofers!!

I can fine tune the woofers with my servo control unit, but will the LS 26 deliver??

I don´t like pumping bass, i just like the KICK of the bass drum and the lower end of the bass guitar without it messing up the rest of the sound stage, deep and tight.

Was also wondering if there any other pre amps within this price range that are as good or even better?  Must have remote and 2 sets of pre outs since i have 4 mono blocks.

Hi Al

Thanks for the info, I´m not the most technical person in the world but i was able to follow what you mean.  

I`ve just changed out two of my monoblock so that i now have a pair of Vincent sp991 plus on the bass tower  ( Input inpedances 47K) and a Audio research HD220 on the panels  ( 300K ohms Balanced, 150k ohms SE)     Big of a difference between the Vincent and AR HD220, I could sell the Vincent and see if I can grab another HD220 or something simular??  

Which outputs would be best on which??   RCA to Vincent and XLR to HD220 or??

Cheers
William
