Madfloyd, Do post your impressions. I think if there is not adequate bass, you have ruled-out the amp and preamp.
I've been going back-and-forth between 1 pair NOS and 2 pair NOS. I think my system is now synergizing with 2 pair, and I will probably add back the 3rd pair to see how that goes. I noticed an immediate difference in bass definition going from the 1st to 2nd pair. I thought there was too much bass for my system with all 4 pairs, but may need to listen again in light of some other changes.
