The bass (when standing close to speakers and at distance) can be a little out of control (overpower the other drivers) and boomy (poorly defined) on some CDs and has to be tamed. Are there options to improve this? Stuff the port and add some fill? (I don't want to do that because that will raise the lowest frequency but I will if it will give me a smoother response and better sound.) I do love these speakers very, very much.
