Hi and i think i understand better now.
One sub or two can help a lot and actually this is the plan B, i.e. to use the B&W as satellites.
Yes i found a picture of your amp (i looked at your listed system).
I guess it is quite powerful and with a good grip on the woofers (i.e. high current and high damping factor).
I love old Threshold amps a lot.
I am about the try a better amp anyway.
Instead transparency, highs and soundstage are nice.
Thanks again.

Kind regards,
bg

The CAS-1 and the CAS-2 are sliding bias class A, cascade amps. They are unique in the Threshold line in that they are not Stasis amps. It sounds very good to my ears. I also like the sound of another cascade amp, the Yamaha M-4.

  HI and thanks again.
  I will test definitely different amps with higher current and good damping factor. A good amp is an investment. A well built amp can last 20 years.
  I see that al least here in Norway is much easier to find good bargain on speakers than on amps.
  Thanks again and congratulations for your really nice system.
  
  Kind regards,
