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.

Thanks for the comment. 

OP you don't have any room or system pictures posted. Do you have carpet or rugs in your room, and what is on your walls?

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
1.  I got a carpet on the floor.
2.  The walls are having partial Foam covering.

@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?
