Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp?


The bass is not enough!!  Not sure which part is not good enough. Can anyone give any idea??

My system:
Speaker: Sonus Faber Amati (SC = Jorma Prime)
Power amp: Esoteric A80 mono blocks (IC = Transparent Opus MM )
Pre-amp: Esoteric C-02 (PC = Jorma Prime)

PC for Power Amp:
I had been using BMI Oceanic Statement。The sound was beautiful, but the bass was not low enough.
I changed to NBS Black Label II 。The bass was better, but still it was not good enough. However, the sound was not as good as BMI Oceanic Statement. So now I have changed back to BMI .

How I can improve the bass performance??
Amati's weak point is bass? Jorma Prime's bass is weak? 

Thanks!!

It does sound like you may want to try a much more powerful/high current amp and probably different cables. You'll just have to experiment, I guess, we appear to be out of ideas.

Tomorrow I am going to try removing wellfloat board from the source.
If the improvement is there, I am going to remove all wellfloat board and BDR carbon fiber board.

I am also going to try removing spike base or TACO board or both from the speakers to see whether it is the problem.

I hope the above could improve (regardless bog or small), or....

Opera_lover at this point try moving the speakers around as people have suggested and rather than music try listening to test tones of bass frequencies to really get an idea of what's going on.
