Best SS Amp with tight clean bass

I have a pair of Polklsi15 speakers. The problem is they have a great tweeter and mid, but the bass is very ragged and loose. I want to match a good tight amp on the lower to try to aleviate the problem somewhat. Next i will mess around with the cables.
P.S. I just bought the new Rogue Audio Cronus Int amp and it is absolutely wonderfull. Any responses on the above would be appreciated.

For tight bass (and damned good performance in general) without breaking the bank, try ATI. The 1502 can be had for about $400 or less, and the bass is rock-solid. Best I've had in my system, actually.

I don't think you'll be able to tighten the bass up with cables and amps - not significatly anyway. You might mess around with placement.

My reaction is to get new speakers if they are the problem.

If not, you could get an audiophile quality subwoofer with a bypass filter to reduce or cut-off the low bass signal going to your main speakers.

Otherwise, what is your budget for an amp?
