Tubes and light weight bass


hi everyone

my current system uses shanling sp-80 tube monoblocks, mapletree line 2A tube pre, esound E5 cdp and usher 6371 speakers. I think that bass is on the light side.
I know that when you go with tubes you might lose some bass on the way but i think i lost considerably.
Any suggestions for improvement ? Maybe replace preamp?
Thanks for all comments

Icorem, I own Esound CD-E5 and Dussun V8i int amp and thinking about picking up a pair of Shanling SP-80. Speaker is IRS Sigma (200 lb 3 way with ribbon mid range and tweeters). I bought Usher Be-718 Tiny Dancer on impulse hooked to Usher R1.5 but just sold it. Isn't bass strength of Esound CD-E5? Would you say CD-E5 and SP-80 was good combo for classical music? Thanks in advance.
