I've got an Arcam Solo Mini running some Tannoy Precision 6.1 speakers.
There's a disinct lack of punch on the lower end, and a feeling that the 25 watts isn't enough to drive the speakers as well as they could be driven. For example the electric bass on a Herbie Hancock album just lacks the snap and pop that I hear on my headphones and in the car. I love everything else about my sound.
My thoughts have gone to using the pre-out connection from the Solo Mini to either loop out into an additional amp:
- Naim NAP100 power amplifier
- Rega Brio R
OR a subwoofer, but I've never had one so wouldn't know where to start.
Budget is about £600 (I'd buy the Naim on the bay)
Thoughts?
