Lack of bass in NHT 3.3.
Story: I had a pair of 3.3’s. I had a amp connected playing music and something shorted in the amp and shut down. After got the amp repaired, I connected my 3.3’s up and the bass was very weak. I sent the speakers to NHT to have them checked out. ... 
Dynaudio Special 40
Marvelous speaker. Got a almost new pair for 2K. Running with a Pass labs integrated 60. It’s a wonderful combination.  
Looking for a warm sounding amp or integrated with a torodial transformer
My Pass integrated 60 sound warmer than my Black Ice tube integrated. Instead of a new amp, why not try some cardas cabling?  
Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air
I have had both evoke 20 and the small Harbeth. With my Pass lab integrated I preferred the Evoke(better bass and larger sound) over the small Harbeth. I also have a pair of the newer LS50 that I use with my tube amp. Using Dynaudio Special 40, an... 
Black Ice(former Jolida Company)new integrated amp opinions
I recently purchased and Black Ice F35 integrated . Listening to it while my pass lab integrated is being looked at. I was surprised at the bass punch from this amp. It has solid state bass drive. I did change out the Tung sol power tubes for gold... 
What Integrated Amp do You use
I use Pass Integrated 60. Why? It’s Pass 
I have atcsm40 want possible alternative
Have you considered any of the Dynaudio speakers? I am using the Evoke 20 and they are fabulous driven by my Pass Lab int 60. 
Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i)
I just bought a pair of dyns and they were awful and lifeless out of the box. Played them two days straight in a closed room. Entered the room after the two days and shocked at the difference in sound. The dyns became much more open but a bit hars... 
Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps
I have a similar issue with my pass int 60. Sounds ok at startup, but takes maybe 3 hrs or more of playing time to sound its best. I just put up with it. 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
I use a Pass lab int 60,which is only 60wpc and i do not experience, what you did with the meta’s.  
XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution
Harmonic technology. Somehow they are warm but have very good resolution. My whole system uses them. Not ultra expensive. Since I have had those, I dont even bother with cable anymore. Truth Link is what you would be looking for. You can find them... 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Crutchfield.com shows the blue and the white ones available 10/30. The titanium sold out already, As you know, these speakers are really hot right now. 
KEF LS50 Meta
I commented in another section of the form. Compared to my old ls50, the meta’s are clearer, and seem to have a wider soundstage. Before breakin, I had to turn the metas up louder  than the old 50’s. However the meta’s play louder then my old 50’s... 
Pass Labs int 60 vs. Luxman 590 uX ii
I actually own and use the pass int 60. It is a smooth and warm in the middle amp. At the same time is is very transparent. It tends to get out of the way of the music and you just listen. Bass is very controlled and doubles its power into 4 ohm. ... 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
I have a pair of black edition on eBay now. I’m up to 600 now. I think 700 is the going price. I’ve only had My ls50 6 months and paid 900 new. If I clear 700 I’m good. The metas sound so much better, the joy of listening is worth the lost.
