Hey guys, I'm pretty dissatisfied with my setup, and it seems as though my B&W DM602 S3s are really not being driven as they should. When I was choosing speakers I first went with the B&Ws over the axioms, because I found some gently used for a great price. I have a marantz 5002 AVR (90 watt/channel), and I've even tried an external rotel rb-850 amp. Although the speakers sound better with the rotel, they still don't sound as full as I'd hoped. I've tried different room placements, different rooms, settings on the AVR, different cd sources, and even different wires.

Even still, the bass and some midrange seem to really be lacking big-time. It's there, but just really far back, so that it's really not satisfying. Also what I've noticed is that the bass drivers of the speakers hardly move. Would this suggest they're being underpowered, or what?

I'd really appreciate any tips you guys have.
