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.

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.
