I hate to say this but it's probably the reeds! Even the best handmade reed will have its limitations. It's impossible for someone else to make reeds that suit another person exactly. They can make an approximation, but that's about it.
Many things can affect reeds. If I remember correctly, Charles Double reed is in California, where it is relatively dry, but still warm. If your climate is different than that, the reed will change. It may be the cause of the flatness, or the unresponsive low register.
Your best bet might be to invest in some reed adjusting tools. A knife, a plaque, a cutting block, and some razor blades. This will allow you to scrape and adjust premade reeds, so that you can play on them better. They won't be great, but at least you should be able to get response.
