Booming bass from WP6


Why do I have this problem?
ML 432 amp
ARC Ref2 Mk2 preamp
Esoteric DV50 CD
HT-Pro 9Plus SC
Analysis Plus Interconnect.

Live in a condo 300sqft - listining room - woodfloor.
Been told my WP's too big for room- Kharma 3.2 recommended instead, but auditioned them and found sound too etchy...
Advice please..

It's probably true. Your room is too small for the WP6. A speaker that size really needs room to breathe. I wonder how the cubs would sound in there though. Small rooms need small speakers. I doubt that any full range floor standing speaker isn't going to come off sounding "boomy".
Iujona, in the long run it might be cheaper and more effective to contact rives http://www.rivesaudio.com and see if the room can be fixed up enough to allow you to keep a really good pair of speakers. It would be a shame to see you see the WP6 if you didn't absoluely have to sell them.
I have talked to Rives and they really know their stuff. The room makes soo much difference in how the speakers sound. Usually fixing the room is the cheapest option.
