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.

I own a pair of D30R's and I experienced the same "bass bloom" that you have.  My room is about the same area.  Speaker placement is most important.  You have a good distance from the rear wall but are maybe too close to the side walls.  I am fortunate enough to have a few amps (SS and tubes) to alternate before making a new purchase.  I found placement and footing cured the problem without major expenditures.  Good luck.
