As for what you heard, I can't say. I can say that if Alexia 2 bass sounds like the bass you describe for Alexia 1 or as you describe for this instance of Alexia 2, something is way off. Given the system pairing is unusual to say the least and that all the gear is well pedigreed, the first step would be to confirm that disparate components are not somehow mismatched (impedance, gain, cable calibration for instance).

But at the end of the day, whether you prefer it or not, a 911MkIII should make bass on an Alexia 2. If it doesn't, it's time to start troubleshooting, not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Got a bit sidetracked with synergy, should have been a separate thread. Synergy is a personal preference anyways. Certainly Burmester and Wilson are both highly regarded in the audio community and you are right Bill, the Burmester amp should make the Alexx stand up and dance when it says so.
