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.

Are your speakers new? If so, as others have suggested you may need to give them a little time to break in. If that’s not the issue, what speakers did you own before these and were you satisfied with the bass performance? if not, it’s possible that your personal preferences are such that subs will be necessary to meet your expectations.

did you buy the speakers from a dealer in your area? If so, and they are relatively new your dealer should help you with this problem. Maybe he could bring different speakers or a different amp to your room and experiment.  As others suggested, these are quality speakers, which should make enough bass, but “enough“ is subjective and you have too much money invested to be dissatisfied. If you bought them from a quality dealer, you should have a partner in solving this. Good luck.
