Re: i need help with my stereo and speakers and more bass

hi there at the moment i have just the


audiolab 8000q pre


quad 909 for power


kef reference 2.2 for speakers


but i still have the other audiolab gear and tag because i do like the sound of the gear but is not that loud


if i use the tag 60p or the audiolab 8000p they trip at about 11oclock so i went out and bought the quad 909 but it just does not have the sound i am looking for .


regards stuart and thanks for your time

You require a sub. I can recommend the B&W PV1 at £950 (You will find it cheaper though). Or, you could buy 2.....
