Where are the speakers located? How close to a wall? If really close, move speakers out into the room to diminish the bass. If all else fails (assuming these are bi-wire speakers), bi-amp with another integrated amp so you have control over bass volume (I just remembered that my Proac D38s had a funky bi-wire structure. The top speaker-wire posts ONLY FED the tweeter. The bottom posts fed everything else).If bi-wiring practical, the VK-3000 makes it extremely easy with dual "pre out" connections. Another thing to try is plugging the bass port with something (foam rubber, pair-of-socks) anything to reduce the bass. The bass exits the speaker at the bottom so try stuffing some towels in the space to reduce output.
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.
