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: Just for the hell of it, I replaced (only for a short period) my PrimaLuna 6 monobocks (70wpc) with my old acurus a150 solid state amp (150 wpc) just to see what the difference would be. Besides the obvious immediate differences, I noticed the biggest change in the sound was the lack of bass the a150 had compared to the tube monoblocs.
food for thought. good luck.
