What is wrong with my system?

None of the posters above me have got it right! Change the preamp, change the amps, change the interconnects, get a  power conditioner ... What malarkey and lack of understanding of basic acoustic principles!

+1 pgaulke60! My apologies - I missed seeing your post! You at least understand the importance of room placement! 

-1 thyce! The farther a woofer is from the wall/floor boundary the worse it's response. This can be verified by measurements. Changing the crossover caps is a futile and money-wasting endeavor! 

Work with what you have before exploring equipment changes. Check speaker connections to make sure that the speakers are in phase. Try different speaker positions... closer to the wall for more bass.

I’m not a fan of b and w but they are competent in design and manufacturing.  Classe amps are more than adequate to deliver drive any speaker even with a demanding resistance and phase angle. A Bryston preamp is a neutral device that will drive any amp without coloring the sound, and certainly would not suppress the bass.
I agree with placing the speakers closer to the back wall for reinforcement.  My suggestion is front end.  Perhaps a denefrips aeras or audio gd r1 and use downloaded files via usb or a streaming service.  These r to r dacs have an organic quality that many find closer to analog sources.  To quote mr Atkinson. The future of audio is digital, it just won’t be spinning disks
