I have the Celius which are a little stronger in the bass.
First - everyone says they take a while to break in. Mine were used so I don't know if this is accurate. From what I have seen from testing done - this is true of most dynamic speakers-especially of woofers. I have seen tests where the bass drops 5hz or more over a good burn in (50-100hrs or so). Also- my speakers had no bass when in a normal set up - meaning closer to the back wall than front. I think this is because of the front ports. Mine are flat to 35hz when 8ft from the front wall - in a near field position (I treat the wall behind me, the side walls and the ceiling. this helps imaging and brightness). While most people buy too much speaker for a room maybe given the size of the room and your musical tastes you have too little? I would run an RTA and see what the plot says running sweeps or pink noise. (Use a PC with a SW RTA installed like RAL lite. Use your sound card and a mic. The Radioshack meter's output can be used and even some PC mics - since you are primarily concerned with freqs below 300hz). Also try facing the speakers more forward to cut the brightness. Triangles are tipped up a bit in the treble which I think makes them a good match for tubes - plus they are sensative). If you need more email me at [email protected]
