RE: Can You Recommend an Amplifier for Me?

Your speakers are now well damped enough that they do not require a high damping factor from the amplifier. I have experienced the same thing with other "critically" damped speakers and horn loaded bass drivers. You need an amp with LESS damping factor, not more. You are compounding the damping (mechanical) with damping (electrical). That is why it sounds dead. What is the sensitivity and impedance of the speaker? A good push/pull triode amp would probably liven them up significantly.
