I had Proac Response 5's and D30 R's and had similar problems with too much bass and my room was much bigger than yours. The two things I did that helped were 1, run the speaker cables to the top binding posts (of the speaker) and jump the bottom. This will give you less energy to the woofers. If this method removes too much bass you can try a diagonal jump which is half way between the two methods. 2, if you use Roon, use their EQ function and cut the deep bass by however many db's it takes to reduce the excess bass. I first measured my room and found out at what frequency I had excess bass....Hope this helps.
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.
