The output capacitors are quite a small value, 0.22uF, this was the reason for the loss of bass into a lower input impedance.
I changed them to 1uF and the problem was cured.
I'd forgotten about this but yes I recall Rob Holt mentioning this as a must do mod on these a few years back on pfm. Good tip Alan
