PROAC D48R Bass Booming

Great news and happy to hear it worked out for you

these speakers very much. But the only problem is Bass-boom and because of that, some tracks are unlistenable.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think ProAc uses Scanpseak woofers, 
Yes?
WEll this **boominess* in upper bass, is part of that drivers character.
Which is why I went with Seas Magnesium to avoid the upper bass resonances.
I think Wilson also uses Scanspeak.
Scanspeaks offer incredible low bass. Tight punch in drums. 
Every driver has its tradeoffs.
Paper composite  vs magnesium.

Oh I am sorry,
The woofers are not Scanpseaks,, Not sure which lab makes that driver,..
I’d never have gone with a speaker such as that midbass.
I only trust Scanpeak, Seas and SB Acoustics.
Before I buy any speaker I need to know who makes the drivers.
I never buy based on a name of the company.
A bit pricey to have this type of coloration going on,
btw they are made in England, home of B&W, another speaker line that i find upper bass has coloration = fatigue.

at 11G's , I expect nothing less than perfection  throughout entire spectrum

@mozartfan 

Did you read the review you posted or even hear these speakers?

It appears the OP has a room treatment or placement problem.

It looks like he has it resolved which is great news.

@gnanasekhar ,Good to know that your issue is resolved. As a fun track, try to listen to "Jazz Variants" on your speakers.

@mozartfan,Have you personally listened to the ProAc D48Rs?
Unless you heard a component you cannot make judgements, because you are only "assuming". You must be aware that tons of DACs use the ESS SABER 9038 chips. Do they all sound the same? Looks like in your world, one size fits all :-) These D48s need room to breath and OP has taken steps to correct the issues that he had.
