Suggestions Please


I have always owned high end speakers and amps. However, I have always used my home theater AV Receiver as the pre amp. Recently I purchased an Audio Research Pre Amp and Audio Research CD player and opened my eyes to a taste of true listening pleasure.

However, gone is the days of day of bass and treable control and I am now seeing that not all recordings are created equal. Albums I loved like "Rush Signals" has no bass what so ever, and Pink Floyd "The Wall" blows me away. I was trying to figure out where my bass has gone and on Holloween, I put in one of those spooky CD's and cranked it up. The constant heart beat was clear and solid bass that blew me away. Once again leading me to re-evaluate my music collection...

So, I am on a quest to buy some new music and I am looking for suggestions in Jazz, Rock, and New Age. Dynamic bass is where my taste is, so any suggestions would make my day...I do like acoustic stuff as well...

Unfortunately, this is my room. Vaulted ceiling and couch just kill the bass. But once again, I should point out that several albums sound great which leads one to believe that both the room and the set up are capable of producing the bass. With my AV receiver, it had plenty, but the bass turned all the way up tends to help...

Thanks for the suggestions on the albums...
Thank you all for some of the suggestions. I added several of these to my holiday wish list...
Got a Bluesound Node 2i on order and that has a sub out.  will play around with it just to see.
