I know this is stupid, guys, but I solved my problem. I just moved my Luxman amp and CD player in from the other room, and wa-la! It sounds absolutely superb. The bass in my office is even better from the new Yammies on cement blocks than in my listening room on thin stone slabs.
The problem wasn't in room reflections or bad acoustics, though there is certainly room for improvement there.
I had been assuming all along that the iDecco had to sound great with the Yammies, because it sounds so good with the Quads. WRONG!!...
This was perhaps my first expensive, involved lesson in component compatibility.
iDecco + Quad bookshelves = Good
Luxman + Yamahas = bliss
Couples that can't be intermixed.
Thanks for all your help. I'm still going to try some of the tweaks you all suggested, and see just how good it can get...
