will changing to solid-state make the bass in my wilson sophias better at low volume?


I've noticed that my sophias really shine when they're cranked up a bit, which is great, but I'm wondering if I can't get more of that, esp. the bass, at lower volumes. my tube amps (Cary Slam-100s in triode) are ~50w/ch, more than the 25w/ch minimum wilson recommends. it seems to me that I could either get a sub or try a solid-state power amp. it'd be easy enough to try either/both, but I'm curious what people have to say. thanks!

I'm using itunes, which has a 10 band eq. I tried using that, but didn't like the results.
thanks for the responses. I'll play around with the eq on my itunes, see if that does the trick.
thanks again. this is all very helpful. I'll probably try a subwoofer in the near future...
I guess I just need to audition a high-powered SS amp and a (sealed) sub in my system. thanks for all the helpful responses, especially from people who have experience with sophias.
