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.

*What we are not seeing is his room with a multiple of 2 and having full Range Speakers positioned in the corners is the challenge*.*Because of this (any full-range speaker) in the corner will be up 9 to 12 DB * because of the corners of the small room are near the speaker. Its not the speaker fault or amps (((extravaganza recommend amps which reproduce tight bass))) No leaner wire or amp will fix this magnitude of an issue. If amp manufacturer made an amp that its frequency response was down 9 to 12 DB at 80HZ that amp would be considered broken.
If bringing the speakers closer doesn’t solve. Vandersteen makes an analog nondigital assessment box start at 20k then 33k move up to 50 K and higher until the problem goes away finalize with the specific X2 High Pass 140 bucks
Schiit Loki EQ = 150 Bucks would also take down excessive 80 Hz bass.
Put Felt on the wood surface under the ports. once installed your in-room bass response will be more neutral try going back to where the speaker’s position sounds their best.

I whole heartedly thank all of you for your valuable guidance.  Apart from this problem, these speakers are sweet sweet sweet sounding .
Go to a home store and ask for some pipe insulation. Measure the opening at the bottom of your speaker (looks like four or five inches). They make pipe insulation out of foam rubber and many different sizes so get some big enough to block the bottom of your Proac. This will cost $10 - $15 dollars.
My friend has those Proacs in a room twice the size of yours and they are outstanding. He also is using a subwoofer with a high pass filter. I really think that that room is too small for those speakers. Changing the amp will not resolve the problem!
Your getting some great advice here. I had a similar issue with myD-30R’s. Bass was overpowering my room and sounded a bit sloppy at times. Did the easy stuff first, trying to position them correctly.
This helped somewhat. I then replaced the stock spikes with a set of Audio Points which made a huge improvement. Not only was the bass tighter and more defined, but the mid range and top end improved as well. The D-48R’s are wonderful and capable speakers and worth the time and effort to get right. Good luck
