B&W Matrix 1 series 1 - opinion and advice.

Hi !
i have bought a pair of the speakers in the picture.
I like the highs a lot but the bass is slow. Rubbery.
I wonder if this depends on the plastic cone woofers (i thought they were treated paper ... damn ... ) and then i cannot do nothing, or instead it could be the amp being not adequate.
Actually i am using a cheap Cambridge Audio 340a, not the last word on control of the woofers.
Any opinion of these speakers ?
As an example years ago i had an old pair of B&W DM 570 ... they were much much better in the bass. Very better ..
Thanks a lot.


Kind regards,
bg
