I currently have a pair of Mission 753s connected to a Marantz PM66-SE (I'll be changing this for an Audiolab 8000a any day now), and my sources are a NAD 533 with an Ortofon 2M, and my lap top, which I bluetooth to the HiFi via an Arcam Miniblink. There's a lot to like about the sound I get from it all, but its extremely bass-light (I was previously using a pair of Tannoy 632s, which were bassier). I understand that the 753s are famous for not being overly bassy, but I'm pretty sure I should be getting more than I am. The manual says that the speakers should be within 30cm of a wall, which simply isn't possible in my living room; they're currently around 40cm forward of a (hideous B&Q Rococo) fireplace (I'm also not able to get them the recommended two metres apart). I'm wondering if this may be the source of the problem, and, in the absence of an available wall, if there's anything I can do (perhaps there's something I could put behind them for example). Or maybe it has nothing to do with positioning at all, and its just a sub-optimal partnering of components. Either way, suggestions would be very much welcomed.
