Mirage M7si bass bump how to deal with it?/

I have a pair of Mirage M7si speakers which are very good but have a bass bump that is hard to get rid of via the usual methods The speakers were reviewed in Stereophile and received very high marks but the reviewer had the same issue. Should I try stuffing the ports a little?? I know this helped with a pair of Polk LS 90s that were very bass heavy,. thanks
I am comparing the Mirage units to Def tech BP 20s and Infinity Kappa 7.1 series II (very impressive also)

You should be able to fix the problem, but with no info on your other components and the room, I don't see how anyone can make a worthwhile recommendation.

One basic thing I can suggest, is to make sure you're using the spiked feet. Sometimes, people just put them right on the floor and not use the spikes. If you have a hardwood floor, or something similar, you can still use them. Just put a penny under each spike.

If you really want to alter the frequency curve, then use an parametric equalizer.

Generally, I would prefer a different solution, but in your case, it may be the best way to go. Fooling with cables is no way to go about it. Something like a Behringer 24/96 digital eq should give you some good results. Since its digital, you can run it through a DAC for better SQ. The only other thing I can think of, besides an eq is to get a more powerful amp. The amps you list as tried are not the last word in power and control.

"They are definitely NOT lacking bass"

I believe the OP gets that.
