SS amp with tight deep bass ?

How do you move "slightly" towards HT?

I sold my big amp ( Ayon Spirit II ) in order to regroup for Christmas. I was left with a vintage receiver
( Sansui ) that even when it sounds good, it does not go down in the lower frequencies as some of my previous amps.

When I say I'm moving slightly to HT, I meant I've been watching movies more and more thru my system. Don't take me wrong, I still enjoy listening to my Jazz CDs at night with my girlfriend, or when I read. The truth is my system is serving a dual purpose now. Later on when my finances allow, I'll get back to something like the Ayon.

The EE pre-amp has a 1.5k Ohm output impedance. A Bryston would have too low an input impedance for it, resulting in lean bass. Look for something with a high input impedance, say 100k Ohm.

You should be able to find an Eagle 2A for $1K or less. Hard to beat for bass.

That EE pre has a whoppingly high output impedance. I don't know if they are the only ones, but the only ss amps that come to my mind, that have an appropriately high input impedance that might work your chosen pre., are some of the Electrocompaniets.
