Breaking it down, Sabrinas are 31 Hz – 21 kHz: +/- 3 dB, RAR (Room Average Response). Your room is 5400 ft. Mc275 puts out closer to 90w on healthy tubes but it is not a sledgehammer of an amp. That and Sabrinas dip to almost 2 ohms around 139hz. 3+ factors working against very deep bass response. Subwoofer is a must if your expectations are of very deep bass under those conditions.
