Hard to say exactly what is going on. If you have become accustomed to pushing up the bass on your EQ, you might have a somewhat unrealistic preference in your sound. I cannot speak for all audiophiles, but I certainly don't have "boomy" bass as a system goal, preferring a more balanced presentation. However, it could be that your bass actually is insufficient for a variety of reasons.
First thing I would ask is you mention a TT source, any other sources? Do CDs exhibit the same low bass levels? If not, there may be something amiss with your TT setup. If they do, then perhaps it is room/placement related.
How big is your room? How close do you sit to the speakers? How are the speakers placed? Have you tried moving them around? Read up on speaker placement in the FAQ, a lot of bass issues could be related to this.
Are your speakers bi-wire? Any chance that maybe the link accidentally didn't get connected? (It needs to be connected on both the red and black connection). I know it's kinda forehead-slapper, but sometimes it's the simplest things.
