Jean Marie Reynaud Cantabile...where's the bass??

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I am currently auditioning a pair of Jean Marie Reynaud Cantabiles. I have an Arcam Alpha 7 (40 wpc integrated) amplifier that I am driving them with. For some reason, the bass seems to have disappeared. I can't say for sure, but their out of box sound seemed to have more bass then now, but perhaps it was never there to begin with. They simply lack weight. This is very disappointing. They are not fully broken in yet, but close. They have about 20 hours with the Magic cd and 10 hours with standard play. They are rated down to 40Hz, but seem to be pretty lean below 80-100Hz. I have checked the wiring to make sure they are in phase and experimented with room placement. No luck. Has anybody else had experience with these speakers? Comments?
