Try a solid state amp. The Veritys are already very musical so I think you can bare with solid state. I'm 100% sure your speaker is under-driven.
Have you ever tried one?
I own the Sarastros which are 93 db and I thoungt I was driving them very good with the Mcintosh MC-2102 and C-2200 (100W) until I used solid state, which took the performance to a whole new level.
A subwoofer would be my last choice. In my experiency they cause more problems than they solve.
Also your source and cables are very important. Try some Virtual Dynamics cables if you can.
IMHO.

Michael,

Thanks. Yes, I had a solid state amp before this Shindo. Again, my Shindos are the 80wpc version, so plenty of power to drive the speaker. In all honesty, the first thing I noticed (perhaps b/c I didn't expect to) was how much tighter and more natural the bass was with the Shindo after I switched. Go figure.

I think many mis-read my post. I'm tweaking, not complaining about bass. I think I have world class sources, and use siltech and Stealth cables. It's all there and sounds wonderful, works very well together and took me 7yrs to assemble. Absolutely am not looking to change my equipment as I know it works super well, just was curious about the application of subs. I get the feeling most think it's a bad idea, but I may try it out just for fun.

You have great speakers and setup!

Cheers

Hi Hatari!

I know what you mean. It happens to me too. Everything is going great but we still want that little bit better. The thing is not to ruin things or "sidegrade".

Happy Listening my friend!

Michael
