Have you set your CM to 4 ohms or 8 ohms? I know the former sounds tighter than the latter, which is why I ask.

I switched mine from the 8 ohm setting to the 4 ohm setting a few years ago to run mine with a pair of vintage Ohm Model L speakers, which are 4 ohm nominal, and it was a noticeable improvement (the Model L has great deep bass for its size but can be a bit loose, and the switch tightened it up without thinning it out).

I figured I'd want to switch back to the 8 ohm setting when I paired it with the Heresy IIs since they're a bit bass light, but actually they've never sounded fuller or deeper so I'm not touching the setting. And that's a good thing because it's a PITA to do so with that amp. ;-)
