My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms


I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I thought the new monos would solve the problem. I still have to use subwoofers to feel like my system has any bass. I've tried speaker placement but to no avail. I realize it could be room issues, but short of packing my room pull of room treatment, there has to be something else. The drivers work, it just doesn't sound full. Should I get a different speaker? At this price, I expected more.

A friend of mine, let’s call him M, has the SF Amatis and another friend of mine, P,  and I went over there recently for a listening session.

M had been tweaking his speaker placement for a good while and while the speakers completely disappeared, the center of the soundstage felt too low and the music felt flat and not as full as with our speakers (Revel Salons and F328Be speakers, respectively), even supported by dual subs. 

We had no idea why this was the case but we left a bit underwhelmed by the Amatis, not given their price, and it wasn’t for a lack of trying by M to set them up.
