Re: How are the Quad 57 w/ Quad II mono blocks?

I don't necessarily need subwoofer bass.....just a balanced sound. My current amp/pre is giving me wonderful mids...but not much bass. I just switched over to a vintage preamp. The sound is not as clean, but now the bass is HUGE and much more a part of the whole picture. The question is how can I make the vintage preamp sound clean and loose the murky, edgy quality. A rebuild, better tubes, and a tone-control bypass would help...I'm sure. The point is that I really don't think I'm going to need a subwoofer. I hate subwoofers anyway. I think I'm just going to have to experiment until I find the right amplification for these wonderful speakers. So the Quad IIs aren't the cat's meow, huh? I would think that being voiced for the 57, they would be divine...and fill in the bass.
