Need some audiogon expertise


Hi all, I am having a little problem here with thin bass. I am not really sure where to start. Some help would be most apprecieated. I have heard some say tubes in preamp but i dont feel that 2 little 6922's can be causing the music to be so thin but maybe so. Heres my list of equipment.

California Audio Labs Icon/Powerboss
Audible Illusions L-1/matched pair of 6H23-EB
Aragon 4004 mkII
Sansui TU-717
Vmps Tower 2/R's
Acoustic Research 12 guage
Radio Shack fusion IC's throughout

Stand alone i've not heard of any of the components having the traits of thin bass. But obviously i have something causing this.

Room is 22 x 14 x 8. Speakers are on the short wall placed 2 1/2 feet from back wall and 3 feet from sidewalls toed in directly at my listening position which is 10 feet from speakers.

Thanks for the help.

Not sure about the tower II's, but I have the super tower/r's which are the next model up. Make sure your speaker cables are in the lower set of inputs on the speakers and the switch is in the down position if they have this on them, The switch is for bi-amp and takes the place of jumpers most other speakers have. Also, as you bought these used, make sure the putty mass that comes pre installed on the passive is in place and of the correct amount (they come from factory fully damped/you remove putty in small amounts to tune the passive). These speakers should have great output at 30hz. and good output down to the mid 20's.
