PROAC D48R Bass Booming

Dear all,  I have just bought a pair of preowned Proac D48R speakers.  I really love these speakers very much.  But the only problem is Bass-boom and because of that, some tracks are unlistenable.  My room is 17 L, 11 W and 10 W.  My source is Ayre CX7EMP and I'm having a Balanced Audio Technology VK3000 SE HYBRID INTEGRATED Amplifier.  Please let me know whether I can solve this problem.  I there any benefit,  if I change my amp and replace it with a Cary Audio SLI100 Tube Integrated amplifier.    Thanks in advance.

Have you considered changing to something like a Lyngdorf TDIA 2170 or 3400. They are fantastic units and I can almost guarantee it will resolve your bass problems. The Room Correction software is really amazing IMO with no downsides.

Looking at reviews on your amp it was noticed the bass was good but not particularly tight. Combine that with speakers that arent really known for tight bass and that may be part of the reason. Another cheap thing to try would be a Schiit Loki EQ or something similar to shelve down the low bass a bit. I find it completely transparent. 130 bucks worth a try imo.
