The bass is only to much when not using the proper cables. Gershman has voiced the speakers with Nordost and they sound glorious with tight bass and wonderful extension. They are cable sensitive in that regard. Regardless of your opinion of Nordost it happens to work extremely well with the speakers. We have tried 7 other major cables and depending on the amplification some will work much better than others. You mention the equipment but not the cabling which is a huge part of the synergy of a system. I love YBA equipment so I doubt it was the equipment and I know for a fact the speakers don't have to much bass if properly set up with synergistic components like all gear!
