It appears I am in need of an EQ

I know... I know... it's almost blasphemy to say this out loud, but hear me out.

I have an Anthem Pre2L preamp and Anthem Amp 2 power amp.  Not a tone control to be found, just the way I like it.

I am running a pair of Thiel CS3.6 that are the love of my life... 2nd only to my wife.

Speaking of the wife, she likes to turn the music up and make the house sound like a night club think "crank the bass!"

So there is the rub. She says there isn't enough bass and the 20 year old in me gets that.  However, I don't want to change out the electronics or the speakers or add a subwoofer... and I am thankful she loves to listen and doesn't complain a bit about all the hardware sitting in the living room. 

So here I am - I need an EQ... and I am looking for suggestions on a decent used one...or alternative ideas.  

Thoughts?

Um, do you need bass or do you need room treatment?

Good room treatment will make the bass tighter and fuller, especially if yo are starting from zero. This may be all you need, and your best option.

If you can, measuring your room and adjusting an EQ based on that really helps.

If you just want to dive right into EQ, strongly suggest the Schiit Loki, as the simplest solution, a miniDSP as your more advanced.

Best,
