Recomendations Please

Try Cardas cables. Im sure they will give a better overall tonal balance and you might notice tigher more focused bass. I have a similar system and have used Audioquest and Cardas Hexlink- Cardas wins by a mile, imho.

Don't the amp is the issue. Room optimization first. Then a move to the 3A Sig, if that doesn't quite do it for you. Not sure the 2wqs are really about more bass, as much as increasing sense of space and better mid-range performance by removing deep bass from the cabinet, also more apparent power from the amp is it would work much less to drive the 2ces with the deep bass handled by the 2wqs amp. But first play with placement before you do anything - the 2ces are not bass shy speakers.

If everything suggested doesn't quite get what you want, you might want to try a better power cord for any of your components. A very inexpensive choice would be Shunyata's latest entry level cord, the Venom 3. I'm no dealer and have no vested interest in recommending specific products. I've just tried quite a few pc's and NOTHING touches this at the price point. You'll hear an immediate improvement in any system as good as the one you've described.

I would try a pair of Amprex 7308's in the preamp. The BB are very nice but they lack the bass or should I say mid bass that you will get from the Amprex.

I did try placment the speakers are now 2 feet from the wall behind it and 2 feet from any parallel wall. some imporovment there. I also but in 4 NOS amperex orange globes which I like better. I think the sound has just cleaned up so much that I am not used to it. I will take in consideration the power cord since I can upgrade the chord on my belles, as far as the pre amp that does not have a removable power chord. Upgrading cables for the speakers not an option since i just got the type 8 cables 4 months ago ruffly and paid 650 bucks for them. therefore I am not in a rush, however i will keep that in mind for when i wanna try something new. . SInce the movement and new tubes the bass pressence is tighter and I am liking it more and more. . . Pubul57 like the suggestion of the 3A sig. . but when I have the chance to make that upgrade I want to go with the quattro or maybe hopefully the 5a and one day maybe jsut one day the 7's Ha ha. . I heard the 7's with the ayre monoblocks and the flag ship audio research ref preamp. . amazing amazing amazing. . . . . S

Strugus. . will 7308 tubes fit my pre? when i looked ARC says 6922 or Ecc88
I was bidding on a quad set of amperex white label PQ but the auction got too crazy. . they ended up going for about 250 bucks and i am just not willing to spend that on tubes right now. .

Thanks again to everyone this has been a good thread and I am always willing to take more advise and keep this one going. .

ANyone have suggestions on USB DAC's that is kinda the last thing I dont have
