Klipschtastic Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I have been enjoying my CWIVs for the past year but have always wanted a little more bass. I’ve tried a Marantz PM 7000n - beautiful mids and highs but a little light on the bass. Marantz 40n- better bass, not sure if anything else was better. Old Yamaha rx450 with bass extension button. I like it. In my room the acorns need a little nudge to bring out the bass. I use the Yamaha for whole house audio in the same rack. Great reciever for cheap. HK 430-great bass. Flat on this is like 2-3 o’clock on my other amps. Nice warm sound. Great match! I swear I think the bass goes lower too. I only lament that I won’t have a remote now. sorry, just had to post about it since none of my friends care about audio. Lol. 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 They are nice receivers. I have a 430 and a 630. I gave my younger son a 430 (not sure he still has it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in original state. It's the best SS amp in my house. I guess recapping it would make it even better. The previous owner was planning to do this, but I think it is fine. It is indeed great on the lows, and it also has a great Phono Pre amp. And of course, the design is very nice too! It currently drives a set of old Onkyo speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschtastic Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 It’s crazy that I can say the only thing I prefer about my $2500 Marantz 40n is the remote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
