midrange forwardness


Could any of you tell me how to get more midrange? My system (solid state) is a bit lean and laid back sounding. I would like to have a full sounding midrange and a sound that is somewhat tilted towards the lower midrange. Thank you.
System: MBL 1621 transport-Accuphase C-290V preamp-Gruensch CSE II se power amplifier-Soundlab A-1 (electrostatic) speakers.

make sure your speakers are sitting firmly and spiked properly (or whatever Soundlab recommends). I recently put sound anchor stands under my Audio Note E speakers and the midrange gained a more 'solid' 'palpable' quality when it was slightly recessed and hollow before. BTW I do know Soundlabs are big stats but I imagine the benefits of proper stands could be similar.?

Also I would experiment with cables which are great tone controls just ask JA of Stereophile :^)
