I am looking to get more bass out of my system


Hi Guys,

I need advice on how to put a little more bass into my system, only because its my preference. I have a Jolida tubed Cd forking off into 2 integrated tube amps the Jolida JD 502B which powers a pair of Klipsch Chorus II and a Cary SLI 80 powering a pair of Klipsch Chrous I and an additional subwoofer. This system is capable of putting out the bass when the music is called to do so, but often I would like to hear a little more bass in general. There are no bass or treble controls, so what would be the best way to achieve more bass with out sacrificing too much music quality. Thanks for input. Pete

I only have mini monitors, but they are in a fairly small room. Your question implies an interest in amount of bass rather than quality of bass, but I think both are vitally important. I'm sure that some of the suggestions above will be of help, especially speaker placement and listening chair placement for deep balanced bass. However, I have a suggestion which has not yet been mentioned.

I recently added isolation under my turntable and improved my LP cleaning regimen. The cleaning seems to have lowered the system noise floor, increasing dynamics and frequency extension, both up and down. The isolation seems to have focused the added information being extracted from the grooves resulting in a more articulate, detailed and richer bass sound, with considerably more impact. Acoustic bass is now sounding much closer to what I hear from very good, coherent full range systems.

I continue to be startled by both the quantity and quality of bass improvement that these two changes produced. And the best thing is that they were not expensive to implement.
