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

AM is right that your amp must be up to the task of delivering more bass (ie power, current as needed) otherwise an equalizer will not help.

Its all relative though so sometimes cuts in other frequencies can produce results better than a boost in the ones of interest.

Like most things, it all depends.

One thing that always works to maximize bass is make sure your amp is capable of driving teh speakers to the max possible, not just to some minimum or slightly higher level.

Then, make sure your speaker placement and listening position is tuned as well.

After these two things first, then an equalizer becomes a decent option if needed.

And of course, speakers must be connected properly in phase or bass suffers.

Long time Chorus II owner here. I recently added a Schiit Lokius EQ and am very pleased with it. It has 6 bands of eq, plus XLR ins & outs. You can easily boost the bass, and adjust everything to your tastes. It is affordable and USA made. 

"raising the cutoff frequency of the sub" - This may help.

or 

Get a larger Sub.
