Krell, and I agree, sounds like this is an amp/speaker combination your looking for.
Getting the bass out of any amp requires attention to all details- proper electricity (dedicated line) power conditioner that doesn't restrict bass, ditto power cord, interconnects and most often overlooked vibration dissipation devices like Herbies' isocups- oh yeah and speaker placement
Choosing an amplifier before selecting a speaker is like buying a set of tires and then looking for a car to fit them.
