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

One other thing to try...  Most people will setup speakers to be symetrical in a room.  i.e. same distance from the back wall and from the side walls.  And if your room is symetrical, then you can get a lot of equally timed reflections coming together that can create the nodes.  Try moving the both speakers 1 foot off center (both right or both to the left) so they are no longer symetrical to the room.  Now your reflections will be misaligned and mistimed and it can scramble the nodes.

I did that with a set of Martin Logan electrostatics where my "best" seating position was right in the middle of a measurable bass node.  The shift elimated the bass node.

... just a thought...

I know zip about your electronics beyond a perception that I gained from reviews that they might be, sound wise, less than ’warm’ and exacerbate problems when connected to speakers which might also be less than ’warm’.

if your room dimensions as listed mean you have a 6 1/2ft ceiling this might in and of itself create problems. I’ve never heard a room with so low a ceiling

I'd love to read some reviews of my electronics where they say that they tend to be bright. I was under the assumption that they were more on the warmer side since they had tubes on the input stages.

Also, some rooms do have 6 1/2 ceilings. In my case it is a finished basement.

BHK Preamp Review

The sound of the BHK Signature was incredibly smooth. Everything I played through it had a palpable presence that washed over me like a slowly moving stream -- no pressure, no haste, no fatigue, just music. Voices emanated tangibly from the soundstage, easy to pinpoint in space

OP, FWIW, I took a few moments to read some of the reviews on your amp and pre-amp. In the reviews I read they were given high marks, and a reader might logically assume that they might be an excellent match. Since I haven’t heard them, I cannot agree or disagree.  But IME synergy between electronics and speakers is critical. Whether or not this synergy exists cannot be determined until you have maximized the speaker/listening position for your speakers. Obviously if the electronics’ are not a potential problem there are only two other options, the speakers themselves or (most likely) how you have set them up. How you approach this problems solution is up to you. 

Good luck.

jeffbij had some great advice.  I am sure that either your chair or those speakers are in a bass-null area of the room, there's really no other explanation.
