Hi. I'm new to this forum, but very excited to find other people fascinated by the 4350's. I have been happy with my setup for quite a while, in the US, but I recently moved to London, and I'm terribly disappointed by the current system performance, or lackthereof.
My setup:
* Pair of 4350A's with dual 2405's
* Active cross-over JBL 5234
* Low amp: MacIntosh MC7300
* High amp: MacIntosh MC7150
* PreAmp: MacIntosh C38
* CD Player: Wadia (forget the model - bought in 1995)
My problem:
* The power in the UK is 230V, my amps are 110V. I bought a stepdown tranformer, of capacity 3,000W. Generic brand, nothing special
* The new sound room in the house where I moved has carpet on the floor
* The sound is totally lame. The bass has absolutely no punch, it's like dead!
I don't know if it comes from the transformers, or the room (carpet), or some component wne bad (cross-over?).
Help appreciated!
