Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers?


I always read that the B&W 802d (1st gen) speaker has very strong / authoritative bass. Yet, I find the bass to be very lacking in all recordings.

What gives?

I agree with approximate speaker placement. Have you tried using SPL meter and Stereophile test CD or similar with test tones? You  need to find out whether you get a response down to 33 Hz or somewhere near that vicinity at your listening position. If this test fails, then you should try changing the speaker placement as suggested by @jasonbourne71. I would do these steps before you start swapping electronics.
