Preamp help?
Any decent preamp will match up well with the Carver tube amps. I personally prefer tubes but regardless of what you choose, be sure to look at something of decent quality. I have heard the Carver amps on numerous occasions (we have shown with Car... 
300B PSET

300B PSET
I have designed both SET and PSET and still make both. My experince, as mentioned above is that a well designed SET should not compromize dynamic authority. Less power should mean less bass.PSET amps done right can provide the best of both worlds....

I'm gettin weak bass and dynamics in one speaker
Start first by swapping speaker cables left to right. First thing to do is make sure its not the speakers. Then if its not the speakers, you can isolate the problem by ways mentioned above.
