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.

Check all speaker screws and make sure all are tightened properly be careful not to over tighten. All the best

That’s the nature of these speakers I am afraid.

I had to let mine go because of excessive / boomy bass too.

Too much speaker for too small of a room.

I would recommend amps which reproduce tight bass(krell,gryphon,dan d'agostino) ,avoid tube amps
