I actually like the sound of the bass, it's clean and goes lower than I expected.

You should give the people at Magnepan a call. I'm sure they will be helpful.
I found out the speakers are very revealing. What I was hearing, which I had never noticed with my other speakers was the grainy sound of a CD. When I put in one of my favorite DVD-A's the HDAD 192/24 version of Alan Parson's "I Robot" it was smooth as silk. I had my amp pumping out 150 watts and it was almost deafening but crystal clear! I'm HOOKED. The only thing I don't like is the three panel design, which spreads the sound out too much for pinpoint accuracy of stage placement. You can hear the location of an instrument move with the tone as it switches from panel to panel. That might be why they don't make a three panel design anymore!?
