Guys, how much is the contribution of the amp to tightness of the bass. I have been reading up on damping factors and how some amps have an ‘iron grip” on the bass drivers which results in very tight, controlled and tuneful bass.
I have quad 22L speaker driven by a NAD C 350 integrated. The sound is very good except for bass which can be considered as slightly fat. I have heard the same speakers with NAD, rotal, Aragon power amps and the bass was definitely tighter with a tactile, tuneful feel to it. Is it the amp causing this ? I have had my setup in different rooms with similar effect.
