My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I thought the new monos would solve the problem. I still have to use subwoofers to feel like my system has any bass. I've tried speaker placement but to no avail. I realize it could be room issues, but short of packing my room pull of room treatment, there has to be something else. The drivers work, it just doesn't sound full. Should I get a different speaker? At this price, I expected more.

Living room 18x16x9

but room has two pillars on one side then a hall way. Which makes the room 18x19x9. And then open to kitchen with half wall. Which makes room 30x19x9. But one corner has a 45 degree corner for a fire place.

I have a large and irregular room... 35' by 25' by 7'... highly irregular... they sound spectacular in my room. So, your room sounds good. Unless of course it is all tile, and windows and reflective surfaces.

One wall is windows. Floors are wood, but covered by a rug. Plenty of furniture in room.

They sound great. They just have no bass. The second I turn on the KC 62s the sound is 10x better. I can't believe two $1500 subs make the sound that much better than the MLs and the SFs alone. I must be doing something wrong.
