hi
i am using a stock st70 with a pair of altec 890c boleros and a denon cd player with volume instead of preamp, the mids and highs are really nice, but i think the bass could be stronger. is this typical with st70, with tubes, or atypical? is there anything that can be done about it?
thanks

People sometimes mistake a lack of boomy sloppy bass as a lack of bass.
The only really noticeable annomily is a hole in bass response centered at ~55-60 Hz, where the ABR and woofer operate out of phase with one another. And even this has its advantage by making frequencies below that seem louder (kind of like a built in Contour button), and it eliminates “boom” and tubby sounding bass. Under normal listening condition, it is not noticable, but it was apparent when I was playing test tones.
