Henry_chinaski: I set them up myself. I should've made it clear that I bought them used here in New Zealand. I have tried different positions, but hasn't helped.
Sounds like the Amatis really need a tube amp. I have a big dislike for tube amps. Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone, but personally I much prefer a SS amp to tube. Having said that, if this is the case with the Amatis, then it looks like I may have bought the wrong speakers. But from the replies, it looks like the Thiel 7.2s would actually make things worse not better ... Audio bliss is hard.
