I use a Complete to power the NHT 2.5i's (86db efficient, 6ohm). Teh 2.5i's have a pronounced mid-bass bump regardless of amplification (if improperly set up). With the Complete the bass is tight, articulate, and prodigious down to their LF corner of I think 29Hz. I have even tried bi-amping them with teh high current 140w Parasound HCA-1205a. The Complete bested teh Parasound.
My guess is that the 1C's, with their time aligned design, are just too accurate. Unless you stick them in a corner to artificialy boost their bass you may find that their presentation is just too realistic. How big is your room?
