Help choose a power amp

I would contact Klaus Bunge at Odyssey Audio.

Bryston or Krell will give you some bass.

Hmmm,

That's weird. On most of the HT systems I've set up I get comparitively more bass when switching to CD. Maybe your receiver settings are not correct for 2-channel playback. I recall that one receiver I used would cut off the bass to the main speakers unless you set the "subwoofer" to "N" for no/off... You may also have to set the main speakers to their "Large" mode, if you have not already done so. Maybe dusting off that instruction booklet would be a good idea.

It sounds odd that movies are OK... but no bass with music. It is often the other way arround. Is there a sub in your setup?? more info would be helpful.

Plato beat me to it--"absolutely no bass" soulds as if you've defined your front speakers as Small so the receiver removes much of the bass from them. Go thru the Setup menu and be sure all the fullrange speakers you use are defined as Large.
