I have Cerwin-vega XLS-12 and power them with Onkyo TX-NR509. The overall sound image is accurate, but the bass is lacking authority. It's pretty quiet, and when I adjust bass-boost, it will turn just boomy. To be honest, I get better bass from my computer speakers. CW is known for sick bass, so something is wrong. The largest cones seems to stay idle all time.
I have calibrated speakers with microphone for optical settings. Stereomode is activated. Receiver gives 130W/ch.
Here are some weak points of my system:
Listening room is at upstairs, speakers on bare floor, which's structure is not particularly sturdy.
The wires are all messed up, and speakers are connected with bare wire method.
Receiver stands on floor between the speakers.
Room is full of stuff, and have air conditioner right next to speakers.
I'm not sure if that's relevant or not.
