I have the same problem with my Usher CP-6371 in my large 30'x 35' room. I have 4 JR DIY bass traps but no sound panels in my room. Rotel RB-985 5x100 watt amp. I don't get much of that lowerr mid bass either. I would love to upgrade my amp to something serious too. But from years of reading posts on here I suspect its the room acoustics is playing a very large part of this problem.This link below should tell you alot about acoustical treatments. When we auditioned these QUAD 22L's at the dealer being powered by 50watt rogue tube amps they sounded great. His room was much bigger.

i assume you are bi-wiring with 4 channels of the rotel? that might be a solution.
the fact is, you need an amplifier with very serious current delivery. the only one I have heard in my house was a YBA 2alpha DT, the best and punchiest midbass ever. Serious 70wpc, 140 into 4 ohms. Great dynamics on rock. You can still get these for around $2000 but they do not come up often used.
midbass suckout can be a room problem but also a crossover problem. too much crossover will simply kill dynamics. not to mention your preamp and source need to be pretty good to get true bass and midbass punch.
Yeah, your right about that. I am missing alot of mid bass because of everything you mentioned. I need to build more bass traps and sound acoustic panels. I am only running one amp per speaker on that Rotel 5x100 amp. Also that Rotel preamp sure leaves a lot be desired.Plan of attack> build 2 more bass traps to add to my 4 exsisting ones. Build two sound panels for my 1st reflection points. Build 4 Corner/ceiling triangle panels. That should help alot.
Need to upgrade my Rotel gear, speaker cables.

His room is only 13' x 18' and hes sitting 9' away from that front wall. Thats a big no no in the acoustics websites on how to setup your sound system. Suppose to follow the 38% rule. Thats either 38% frmo front wall or the back wall. Which for a 18' long room that comes out to 6' 8"
