Stereo amp upgrade for Wharfedale 9.6..?

Cem Filiz New member Username: Cfiliz BursaTurkey Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Monday, December 15, 2008 - 19:01 GMT Hi all, I'm a newbie about hi-fi. I recently own Yamaha RX-V361 HT receiver connected to Wharfedale 9.6 (front) and Whar 8.3 (rear). But I'm not satisfied with the bass and the details. So, I think i need to upgrade (or add) a stereo amp. I consider NAD C325BEE, but not sure if it will be a correct choice :o I do not have a nearby showroom for listening. So, I'd really appreciate your opinions. Best regards, Cem.

Cem Filiz New member Username: Cfiliz BursaTurkey Post Number: 3 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 22:10 GMT "enough" = not enough power to move bass driver and not enough detail in sound - maybe a wrong term. hey, i'm a newbie I've had the speakers for about 9 months for now and I didn't moved them till then. Why? Should I try different locations..?

Bass can be reinforced or thinned by room placement, and the room itself can create bass voids, as well as harsh treble. Look in the room treatments threads here, and try 'speaker placement' in a search.

Guess it can help. I get enough bass when connected to PC with optical, so I think there is no problem with Watts. Thanks again.
