Thank you Rick. I appreciate most when people can offer comparisons of different gear they’ve tried, otherwise you have to try it for yourself or you’ll never know. That’s one thing (of many) that’s sad about the demise of the B&M stores …. A good dealer should be able to tell you what works with what. Good reviewers also - for example, I appreciate when someone like Herb from Stereophile reviews an amplifier. He’ll report on how it sounds with each speaker he has.
Primaluna EVO 400 Amps/Preamp lacking bass impact
We have Primaluna EVO 400 preamp with 2 EVO 400 amps running monoblock. Focal Kanta No3 speakers.
We were hoping for a bit more bass impact. rolling the tubes in both amps might be out of the range we would invest here.
Mostly music but sometimes used in HT setup with SVS SB-4000 sub. since the sub has full bass management we could add that leaving the Focal full range and setting the sub for 50hz/24db.
As long as it is okay to have both balanced and SE outputs from the preamp hooked up at the same time? always wondered about that.

Thank you @jimmy2615 Since I posted, we tightened up the stands that were a bit loose and moved the speakers back to 30" from the wall and bass is better. the only issue with using the RCA preamp out to the SUB, is the LFE is shared, so would have to unplug and change cables for movies. unless I am missing something. they sound better and most likely will not bother with the sub for music listening..

One solution is install a line level A/B switcher
Or an Audio Activated Line-Level Automatic switcher.
