    That bass response looks shite, even ESL57's don't roll off that early.
    Get a sub.

    It looks like the frequency response shown in Figure 3 doesn't include the port output, and the impedance measurement isn't showing where the port tuning frequency is either. At least it's not very clear.

    Shortening the port would raise the port tuning frequency and would most likely sound better, but obviously I wouldn't suggest cutting the ports on an expensive pair of speakers. If they are loose, it could be worth removing them to see what that sounds like.

    Although, based on the specs, I think a small sub would certainly help.
    The Hi-fi News reviewer praises the bass response '...presenting deep bass notes with convincing authority, devoid of blur or smearing.'

    He does indeed, but look at the bass response in the frequency chart....

    Just had a thought (doesn't happen very often). Would be well worth making sure that no stuffing has fallen down and blocked the port.

    yes, the in-room (I assume that is what 'riposta in ambiente' means) rolls off pretty steep after 80 Hz. Hard to marry the reviewer's comments with that. It's a bass-light speaker - for a floorstander anyway.

    I don't know the items, but seems to me both amp and speakers look good. Speaker positioning has been experimented with, so alternatively, could the issue be room acoustics?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    My ANJs are similar, first you think wow I'm hearing stuff I haven;t heard before, then you realise its because bass response is reduced that gives the other freqs a chance to shine.
