I had the 2.5s in my system on demo, and I found them to have a pretty prominent mid/upper bass bump that was tough to deal with. Of the amps I've had in my system, Bryston was one of the better ones at controlling bass, but that would have a very different overall sound than your CJ. I'd try pulling speakers out further and trying some bass traps before changing amps. Best of luck.

I also had the 2.5s on a concrete slab in a good-sized room and couldn't get rid of bass hump. This bass issue has been noted by some good reviewers, and you can see it clearly in the Stereophile performance measurements... https://www.stereophile.com/content/sonus-faber-venere-25-loudspeaker-measurements The only ways I could think of to deal with this effectively, short of adding a sub (which is not a bad idea BTW), would again be to try bass traps or possibly some form of equalization. Best of luck. |
