Integrated Question

I currently have Totem Forest Signatures powered by ModWright KWH 225i. I have rolled a total of three different tubes (stock JJ, Holland, Seimans), and have found the bass to be less impactful than desired. It seems to be all there, just laid back? I am considering a change in integrated.

Looking at Pass INT-250, Luxman 509z, Accuphase E-4000, and Boulder 866. Any one with experience with the above combinations? Am I heading in the right direction?

non-treated room (unable to address at this time)

Ayon S10 II / ModWright KWH 225i / Totem Forest Sig / REL S510 pr / Shunyata D6 - Delta v2 pc’s / Morrow Elite sc-interconnects (auditioning Fractal F1 next week)

Thanks

Scott

The new Luxman line has changed a bit it’s a bit more neutral not as warm 

still very well built , the Accuphase the best built of the bunch .

perrotta consulting Carrie’s both Luxman and Accuphase ,

ad very good deals especially if you buy a power cord or something else.

I used to like McIntosh but their build quality cannot compete with Japan 

vusally they are great ,longevity from customers after 10 years Accuphase is #1you should check out all ,or any factory videos.

I have a Boulder 866 and it is fabulous! I highly recommend an audition. Good luck !

Many recordings are deficient in bass response. Don't be so hasty in blaming the Modwright amp for this! You can experiment with the bass roll off upper frequency on the REL subs.

"Just want to shore up the bass." - add another pair of REL subs.
