I am looking to get more bass out of my system

Hi Guys,

I need advice on how to put a little more bass into my system, only because its my preference. I have a Jolida tubed Cd forking off into 2 integrated tube amps the Jolida JD 502B which powers a pair of Klipsch Chorus II and a Cary SLI 80 powering a pair of Klipsch Chrous I and an additional subwoofer. This system is capable of putting out the bass when the music is called to do so, but often I would like to hear a little more bass in general. There are no bass or treble controls, so what would be the best way to achieve more bass with out sacrificing too much music quality. Thanks for input. Pete

Whatever else might be done, I would first pay attention to the current delivery from the wall. Good power cords can make a hell of a difference too. So can different spikes/cones under speakers and subwoofers.

Speaker placement closer to rear wall and corners usually boosts bass levels.

I agree with the speaker placement too. Another possibility is raising the cutoff frequency of the sub (if powered and adjustable) and see if it blends in ok and sounds better.

Be careful, you can easily waste money trying to add bass in a system. Your room may not be capable in its current state, your amp to speaker match may not be the best for this, or, your subwoofers may be placed wrong. In addition, in the cable area, try cables you can return for refunds if they do not help with adding bass to your system.
