I've seen many comments on the 2Pi's here - cannot remember ONE mentioning 'lack of bass'! Based on the behaviour in the frequency domain alone, one would rather suspect that some people would actually find them too 'hot' in the mid/upper bass, so..(???)Btw., you mentioned them being away from room corners - you are aware that they're supposed to be close to at least two room boundries? Since they are floor standers, close to back wall or side wall, that is.
