Garebear, I had a couple of similar things happen to me recently which made me re-examine my system and the sound I was looking for in terms of the overall sound. These experiences made me realize that while the bass in my system was good it did not have enough bass impact.
The first thing I thought of doing was changing my speakers, because auditions of speakers from Rockport and Wilson Benesch were what led to my re-examination of the sound from my system. My current speakers are to one of the speakers Proac D 40r.
What I ended up doing was changing amplifiers. I am now completely happy with the bass in my system, as well as the overall system balance.
It took some time, advice from an audio dealer I know, and the thoughtful help of my local audio dealer to determine the best course of action.
Best of luck in your search for the sound you want.
Best Regards,
Jim Perry
