Hi, need help with Snell Type a iii

Hey guys looking for help with my new acquisition. Just got some mint Snell Type A iii and did a test last night and they are incredible but I feel the bass is a little thick and slow. I'm hoping it is my amp since it is supposed to be a power hungry speaker. I running em with a mccormack dna 0.5 deluxe biwired, is it enough? or could it be that the woofers have new surrounds (done by Miller sound), and could need a break in period? lastly they are placed about a foot off the rear wall and around 4 feet off the sides. thanks for any help

More power would be great. 200 watts per channel or more. Spikes are essential too.

I would try them closer against the wall, see what happens. Woofers need break in because of the new surrounds. Last, maybe a higher current amp (passive bi amp).

Try either a more powerful amp or bi-amping. However, I would recommend bi-amping and if still not satisfied with the bottom end you could add a sub-woofer. This is the set up with my Snell Type AIIIi speakers. I am using the Kenwood L-07M (150 Watts) for the bottom end, Sound Valves M60 (60 Watts) tube amps for the top end, and Kenwood L-05M (100 Watts) for my Janis W-3 subwoofer.
