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.

@gnanasekhar,
Did you manage to move the speakers? Any changes?

Yes, I moved the speakers slightly from the sidewalls and the front wall.  A slight improvement is felt.  But the bass-heavy tracks still sound the same.  Other tracks sound wonderfully well.

If you make a equilateral triangle between the speakers and your listening position, things should improve even more. Have you thought of getting some corner traps?

Yes.  I am going to make some DIY Bass Traps.

That room is way too small for your speakers. 
 I have the D38's in a room 3 x your size. Perfect
