I had a similar experience with my Rambouillet. I bought one used, and it had some Michelin 32s on it. It felt discouragingly sluggish and 'squishy', no matter what the PSI. I switched to Vittoria 25s, and it's a completely different bike now. That's not too surprising given the difference in tire size, perhaps, but the difference seems more pronounced on the R than on other bikes. It seems like I could put a mountain bike tire on the Poprad, for example, and it would still feel fast. This isn't a criticism of the Rambouillet: Maybe just a caveat that it's worth playing around with the tires a bit if that bike doesn't respond, because with the right tires it's a very worthy steed. One rider's (very limited) experiment, fwiw.
