Turning it up will make the problem worse. You need to replace those Bose. They are famous for cone breakup and intermodulation distortion, anomalies that make discrimination of brass voices difficult.
I know it's hard for musicians to spend money on reproduction systems; but for less than the cost of a hard-shell case you could get a pair of quite musical mini-monitors to go with your subwoofer.

The All-Music Guide goes way back into the early days of recording history
for many artists. Great resource. You can also use it to cross-reference
Lenny Pickett playing with whomever.Lelia
(Quick note because we've got Invasion of the Body-Snatchers tonight --
houseguests! Had to tell about a dozen freeloading saxophones to move out
for the night. They're not happy. I told 'em, hey, it's a guest bedroom,
not a flophouse for dirty old horns.

contrabass instrument not represented on this list is the one that is
actually called "contrabass"?--

developed over hundreds of years and is very mature, as oppossed to the
