Light in the bass? I never considered the Lore to be light in the bass. It's not earth shattering bass. It's very ballanced and not dominant. Bass is a personal preferance to most people. Some people just want big bass and everything else is secon...

I used to have the 980 and as a stand alone, it falls short.What you are discribing could be the setting in the background. But, even when thing are set right, it was thin compared to better cd players on the market.Hope this helps. John

Mastersound Compact 845
I found with some Yamaha's that were 6ohm on my Almarro, the 4ohm sounded a little less dynamic and had less bass than with the 8ohm outputs. But Cmalak is right, try them both and see which one sounds the best on your system. 
Is agency approval requred for all equipt
Most power cables by many high end audio manufacturers are not ul listed. If you had a fire in your home and the insurance inspector found that to be the problem, that does give them a loop hole in there right to pay the claim.Most are simple in d... 
Would this room work?
Sounds like a great oppertunity to have a dedicated music room. The treatments and speaker placement will be the key to success.

Have you clipped the speaker by driving them with almost all of the amps power? That's the main reason the tweeters go in most speakers. If not, did you buy them new? if so send them back for repair.If they are not under warrantee, pull the tweete...
