My experience with speakers in general and Ascend Acoustic speakers in particular lead me to think that what you are describing is the sound of your room. That said I know only what you've told us about your room, which is... nothing really, so I could easily be wrong. That is, I'm just guessing here because I don't have anything to go on.
My experience with electronics leads me to think that the vast majority of electronics are reasonably flat and smooth from 20-20kHz. That is, the amps lend a lot less color to the sound than the speakers or the room.
So why don't you tell us some more about the room? Like it's dimensions, where the speakers are, where you're sitting, what else is in the room (chiefly furniture, and what type of furniture), whether the room is part of an open planed area or is fully enclosed with doors that shut, all that stuff. While you're at it, please tell us a bit about what you're listening to, such as what kinds of music, how loudly you like to hear it, etc.
If you really want to know what's going on, snag a copy of REW and a UMIK and post a graph or two. A good graph goes a long way to figuring out your issues. Just sayin'.
