Enhancing low frequencies for my system


Hi.This is Mike S. Here is a master listing of my current components: 
 
My components:
Vandersteen Speakers 3A Signature
2 2W Vandersteen Subs
Border Patrol DAC
Bluesound
Cambridge Transport CXC
McCormick Deluxe DNA 0.5
Modwright SWL 9.0 Anniversary Edition preamp with added phono preamp
Rega P3 table with Elys cartridge

I’m currently looking for and need ideas for enhancing my low frequencies with my current system.  I wish to have a “Phatter” sound stage.  My idea is to add a separate preamp with a remote control and power amplifier including two additional subs with crossover to compliment my current subs that are not as much bass as bass as I prefer.  I appreciate any thoughts & ideas that you may have.Thank you so much for your time & experience, Mike S.

I have to agree. I had a set of 3a Sigs for a while and they had amazingly tight and plentiful bass, nearly as deep as my Velodyne ULD-12s (pair) and “tighter” sounding. Richard Vandersteen is a bit of a bass whore, and with the 3a + twin 2wqs, you should have plenty.

I agree with look at your setup. Either you equiptment is set up wrong, you need to move your sub or seating position, or your room has severe acoustical issues. Regardless, a change in equiptment is not going to fix it (unless you are looking to do 120+ db at 20hz, then you will need some huge subs like Seaton Sound).
