Mozarts boomy-help


I can finally listen and enjoy vocals with cds but I can't get rid of the boomy bass. I have tried three rooms and three amps, several wire changes and I have danced them all over the place.
System includes the Musical Fidelity 3.2 integrated , Audio Refinement Complete CD player VPI JR. turntable, and the Vienna Acoustics Mozart speakers. Also Kimber Hero and 4tc. Thanks for the help in advance.

The biggest reason for boommy bass is that your amplifier is unable to control the woofer movement properly due to poor damping. The best fix is to bump up the impedance of the speakers using a device named autoformer. It essentially multiply the impedance by a factor of 2, 2.75, 3, 4, 8 and so on. Depending on your nominal speaker impedance, the resultant dampling factor will do from under-damped (loose bass) to over damped (dry sound). The optimal setting simply means the system is critically damped and it should give you the best result.

All other fixes that I've tried -- tube trap, RPG skyline, RPG diffusor, cables, drapery, spikes, Aurios --- work marginally at best.
