The bass is just ridiculously perfect in quanity, quality, definition, and slam on Abyss Phi TC planars.

However, I have to say a great 'stat on capable amp also provides fantastic bass, not wanting for more really. Stax SR009, for example, has phenomenal bass, although often people like to EQ up the bass a dB or two to personal taste.

I have the LTA Z10e, that can power the Abyss or electrostatics. . . - John PA 20:17:01 02/16/20 (0)
and it does both, to an excellent level. I prefer the Abyss (latest version) for the wonderful dynamics, and more solid layering and imaging. And that is from the same amp. :^)

I see you have the Stax there too

whats your take on how they compare ???
- Stax vs Abyss - Jon L 20:03:54 12/30/19 (1)
  This comparison is difficult because the amplifiers have to be different. They have very different characters and one does not replace the other, so usually one ends up keeping both...

    your system link is not only bad (two http prefixes) but broken. Might want to update. :)

Thanks Jon. That planar is on my bucket list. Good to know about the stax. Was thinking of boosting the bass on a stat. Figured that would be a must.
