RE: Bass control with low powered tube amps

I have LaScala derived 3 way speakers with klipsch k33 woofers loaded by Peavey FH1 bass horns. I used to drive them fullrange with a Trends TA10.1 amplifier and bass was very ok. But since then i bought an active crossover and a second chip amp. The base amp is 25watts/8 ohms (3 times more than the Trends) and is directly connected to the woofer, so i was expecting better bass but I´m getting just the opposite! It's like the woofers are unabke to move, there's no impact, no "slam ". Had the same problem with a 120watts Technics SE-A5: too much damping factor! I would say for my speakers a damping factor between 20 and 50 is optimal...
