Warm Sounding Preamp Suggestions

Thanks for the input from all.  I also posted this issue in the "speakers" forum.  The purchase and installation of an Anodyne bass alignment filter fixed most of the issue for me.  It filled out a lot of the bottom end with more extension, vastly more articulation, and cleaned up most of the mud.  I now hear a much more even sounding, fuller speaker.  What a difference that box made.

I also need to get them off the floor and spike the stands.  This should help as well. 

ct0517,

That makes sense.  I sometimes used a Velodyne DD-10 with a pair of 802 S2 and thought the 801's after the BAF installed reminded me of that sub's slam, extension, and grip, but with 2 of them,  producing a tremendous soundstage and depth.
