I can't believe no one mentioned room acoustics as bass is hugely affected by room dimensions and speaker placement within the room... If the room has a suck out in the midbass then no amplifier, no matter how punchy, will fix it.
what power amplifier are really punchy
it seems to me that alot of high quality ss amplifiers have a good low end slaming bass and can sound smooth but they seem to miss a really punchy satisfing mid bass and for me to follow bass lines with no problem.i really dont have a system together now.could someone if they know what i am talking about recommend a amplifer in the 200 watt range that has a really punchy mid bass i listen to rythm and blues,old rock,jass,techno.thanks
