Rod,

Feel free to use the bass control and any bass EQ feature at your disposal. As long as the music remains clean and the speakers show no signs of distress, there is not a problem.

Keep a couple points in mind dealing with bass controls and power. Boosting the bass 10db (the typical maximum of a current receiver... older receivers often had more) requires a *10 times* increase in power demand! That means if you are going along at a average humble level of 10 watts (plenty loud for most listening), turning the bass control full-up will now require an average of 100 watts. Now the amplifier of your receiver - plus the speakers themselves are being taxed quite a bit more. The key is to keep a logical balance between high overall volume and strong boosted bass.

If you find a strong bass boost is needed for your system to sound right in your room, maybe a powered subwoofer should be on your new toy list!

Alan
