Great advice above. Or you could simply add a REL S3 SHO and dial it in so it's just audible (you don't want to overpower the room) and also be amazed for a lot less effort.
Your thoughts about an upgrade
I currently listen to vinyl and digital through a VTL integrated amp feeding Vandersteen Treo CT speakers. The November Stereophile review of Vandersteen’s Quatro CT Wood speakers and M5-HPA amplifiers (which is apparently not on-line yet) has made me think seriously about making the jump, which would also require a new pre-amp and lots of cabling.
My listening room is 12.5’ x 15’ and I’ve never turned the volume on the current system above halfway. I think I’m not hearing as much bass as I would like, but it very much depends on the recording I’m listening to.
I can probably go hear the new setup at the dealer and will do so, but I’d be interested in anyone’s thoughts on this move.

John_g, I think you would be pleasantly surprised by adding one or two subwoofers. REL's are currently on sale in many places including https://rel.net/product-category/serie-ti/?utm_campaign=October%20Sale%203rd%20Reminder%20Consumers%... If you can afford it go with millercarbon's suggestion. |
noromance2,472 postsI am curious though about where your Rega P3 is located in a corner and if it will be subject to acoustic feedback. The Rega is in fact in a corner, although it's mounted on Rega's wall mount to a reinforced exterior wall. My location choices in this room are somewhat limited. What are the effects of acoustic feedback? |
