I know this is heresy, but...

I am interested in adding some sort of equalization within my system....tone controls for lack of a better analogy. I know that years ago Audio Control used to make a band equalizer. Anyone out there making that sort of device today? Basically I am looking to add a little more bottom to my system without adding a subwoofer or adding a lot of noise to the sound. Thoughts?

Matrix is correct, get yourself a McIntosh preamp with equalization. The more current models are designed in such a way that the tone controls are truely out of the signal path when they are set to 0db. Although I personally do not use equalization now but have in the past, it could hold water that one slight turn of a tone control could save you hundrerds if not thousands of dollars in tweaks!

Warnerwh, that is excellent your room treatments have resulted in great sound and I'm sure you have one of the better systems on Audiogon. My post was addressed to the average audiophile who is looking for a more economic solution to room acoustics. There is another school of thought here which involves selecting components and cabling that works within the existing room acoustics. Not every audiophile is so blessed and knowledgable as you.
