I'll sell you some rhodium plated gold interleaved ones with an OFC
surround and platinum terminals for 58,000 GBP if you like.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are tasty and good with
ketchup.

It would help if you could give some info on:

How much are you willing to spend?

What kind of music do you like/listen to?

Size/shape/furnishing or room? - e.g. carpets? or bare wooden flooring?

None, so far as I know.[1] The amount of bass you get will probably mainly
depend upon the choice of music, choice of loudspeakers, acoustics of the
room, and where you place the speakers and your listening position in the
room.

If you genuinely want to 'boost' the bass, then get a second-hand Quad 34
and use its bass control, or buy a subwoofer as well as your main speakers
and wind it up a bit. :-)

Slainte,

Jim

[1] Although if these were *very* long, then the shunt capacitance might
noticable roll away the treble...

Lots. Listen to some, preferably in the room you'll be using.

what interconnect will give more bass with this setup.i would like
floorstanding speakers. any reccomendations please?

Anything reasonably thick, with clean connectors.
You'll maybe have to pay big money for good speakers. Don't be conned
by the interconnect myth.

more from the 'james llewellyn school' of uk.rec.audio-ism:

what interconnect will give more bass with this setup.

None will give more bass (that would require more energy to be added, which
can only be done from a powered component).

Some may give the impression of more bass by acting as a hardwired EQ and
rolling off the mid+treble. If all you want is more bass, the EQ settings
on your amp are a far better way to go about it.

Do audiophile amps have tone controls again? They were a dirty word
last time I looked :-)
