PrimaLuna EVO 300

Any PrimaLuna EVO 300 owners out there experience very low bass? The voltage on the sub outs is so low that no sub would do anything unless maxed out. I'm now using stereo REL 212s, running line level, and that's provided adequate bass at about 60% gain. But I'm still surprised by how attenuated the deep lows are with my EVO 300. (By the way, I'm also using Cornwall IV loudspeakers, an Aurender A15 for digital, and Rega P6/Hana SL MC turntable/cart).

This seems very odd. How big is your room? A pair of 212’s at 60% sounds like a lot! Are you sure you are using the low level input and not the LFE input on the back of each 212?

What happens if you use the built in headphones with the amp, does it still sound attenuated? 

And have you tried adjusting the phase of the amps, in case something is phasing out?

Last, have you tried using speakon connectors to the speaker outs instead of line outs?
