Improving bass response

Your most cost effective solution: power cords. You have some nice equipment. I own both the Blue Circle BC62 mentioned above and the Cardas Golden. The BC 62 at $125 is a steal, very neutral across the board and much, much better if you float the ground. The Cardas Golden, available used if your patient around $200 is, in my opinion even better (I use it at the front end of my system, feeding both my CD/DVD player and my line conditioner; my integrated amp which is plugged directly into the wall utilizes the BC 62, which I have been happy to live with, unlike the other 6 or 7 cords I experimented with before settling on it-I would like to buy a 3rd Cardas for that, but can't really swing it $$ wise right now) with tremendous bass extension, although not "tight" in what I consider to be the "audiophile" sense. You could experiment with both these cords, or others; I used to own an Arcam Alpha 8SE-if you want to keep the costs down, you could go with one Cardas and one BC 62 and switch them between amp and CD player to see which combination gets you the right balance. I have an excellent line conditioner, which works very well with my current set-up, but did not do much for the Arcam CD player when I owned it, and I figure that unless your spending huge amounts (ie. plus $1000) on line conditioning, your amp is better plugged into the wall, so I'd be wary of line conditioners with your current set-up.

I have a bit too much bass in my system. I'll be happy to package up the extra send you some ;-).

I'd say reconsider a subwoofer. Unless you buy kilobuck speakers, you just can't hit those frequencies. I have a REL stadium with proac supertowers and I'm only sorry it took me so long to stop listening to the anti-subwoofer people and just buy it. I listen to (among other things) way-out electronic music which often includes very low frequencies - stuff that you feel more than hear - and the REL was a revelation. I have it on the lowest possible cutoff point and you'd never know it was even in the room - there's no directionality whatsoever.

I had the same problem you have and cured it by replacing my cdp with a Theta Miles cdp. It made a big difference and especially in the bass reproduction. However your speakers will not give you the bass that you are most likely looking for. Sonas Faber's website gives specs (40-20,000 hz) and refers to the woofer as a mid-woofer. I suspect your speakers were designed to work in conjunction with a subwoofer. You probably need to give it another try. Happy listening

I agree totally with Audiokinesis. If you really want to keep your mini-monitors, then more patience and experimentation with the sub-woofer thing is what is called for.
