More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music


Hi,   just want to know if anyone can offer their opinions on how to boost the bass when listening to 2 channel music.

I just got a pair of B&W 804 D3 and would like to get more bass out of the speakers.   I remember the bass was pretty punchy when I heard it in the dealer showroom, but I don't seem to get that in my setup.   I currently have Parasound A31 power amp with 250 watts per channel.

So the question is whether I should get a more power amp, or add subwoofer to my 2 channel music.  I'm a little bit of a purist and would prefer not to use a subwoofer for music, but I'm open to this option.

I would definitely appreciate if anyone can share their experience/opinion.   Thanks very much.

"No "sunshine", all the numbers show is that it can deliver 350 watts approx into 4 ohms with 1% distortion. Those numbers do not show output impedance which is what would actually jmpact frequency response"

As has already been sufficiently, properly, and correctly explained you are once again completely wrong even though you are partly correct but being partly correct is not fully correct. Output impedance is only one factor in this equation which you have sought to oversimplify by overlooking others factors as has been duly noted to you hear by others you’re pretending to be some kind of electronics/audio/acoustics "expert" suggests based on you’re own summation that you "perhaps" once worked for Radio Shack and are now qualified to call your self a "conskltant" even though you have such incomplete understanding of basic, rudimentary, fundamental elements involving audio and Music Reproduction Systems.
