I have P10s and have occasionally had the same impression. Usually I have found the problem is not with the Piegas, but part of the front end e.g. I used to use an Art DI/O DAC which has lots of bass, but with Piegas you can hear the mushiness. With the Ack! DAC I dont get this sense.
I dont find the bass adjustment affects the quality of the bass - just how far it extends. I agree that room placement is critical and some rooms will always sound mushy. A subwoofer might give you more options as you need good placement for only one bass driver.
