Looking to upgrade my setup.

Hi y'all! I'm pretty much a rookie when it comes to high end audio. As a musician my ears are pretty tuned but I only recently have gained appreciation to potentials of audio systems. Currently I'm running a pair of Energy cb-20 bookshelves through an entry level Denon reciever. I also have an m and k double 12" sub. The problem I have with it is that the highs seem rather harsh and it is lacking mid bass. I'm hoping to get a system with smoother highs and more punch an the snares and kick drums. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as a new amp and speakers? I really like the sub so I'd like something that wont be drowned out by the m&k beast. Thanks!

If set up properly, the M&K should never drown out the speakers. Are you running the speaker cables through the sub or just an RCA jack? Make sure that the sub isn't set higher than 80hz. Do you have the volume set too high?

Finally, where is the sub placed? If it's too boomy, try moving it into the room a little more. It should never be in a corner or in a cabinet.

Solve this problem before you add a new amp to the issue.
