Speaker cable will not bring you additional bass unfortunately.

Perhaps im not used to hearing anything exept bass stunningly clear just tried moby there is bass there its a strange listening exp sounds like the band is in between speakers

Would mission 732s give better bass and still be as clear?

WOTW is one of mine test sounds. We know what is, and what is not. Like DSOTM.

Hi, your Castle Severn 2 are audiophile speakers for hi guality amp and source into small to mid room around 20 m². It is not speaker designed for home theater or for big bass. As for hifi, it deserves realy good amp, even small tube integrated like Copland 405 or Audiomat Arpege is not wasting of money here. For home cinema, big bass I recommend to look elsewhere. Combo with one or two subwoofers (one per chanell) will also work. I use my system with two active Velodyne SPL subs with my main speakers for some 22-23 years. No problem with them. My first speaker/subwoofer combo was with Leedh Flirt speakers. Leedh have some similarities with your Castle speakers. Castle are more musical, Leedh an absolute acoustic microscope...but worked very good with class A tube amps and two Velodyne subs for bass. I have used active crossovers some 20 years ago😂. And my source was mainly turntable Rega and CEC CD player.

Amp and speakers are both good, and a food match. The issue is are they the right combination for you? You wouldn't buy a spots car for off road driving. Same principle. if you want lots of bass you need a different setup, or modify the one you have. A sub may do the job. It depends on the connections on the sub as to how best to wire it up.

What do you value most, clarity or bass?
