Bass Response on Dunlavy SC-IVa

I purchases a pair of DAL SC-IVa about a month ago and have been trying find the best placement in a less than optimal room. My room is 21ft x 12Ft with cathedral ceiling starting at 8ft in the back to 12 ft in the front where the speakers are set up against the short wall. I know they should be set up against the long wall but the existing HT won't allow this. The speaker are 49" from the rear and 20" from the center of the cone to the side wall. I have carpeting on the floor and ther is a 5ft openning 11 ft from the front wall.

I have experiemented with many placements but just can't seem to get the bass to sound right.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

I have a possible solution, which is worth trying.
Try listening to the room.
Play one speaker, using a low frequency test tone, with the speaker in a 'probable' final,location.
Walk around the room, and find where the 'hot spots' of good bass are. This will give you an idea as to where the potential locations of the listeners chair might be. The key is to extrapolate that in to the 3 diminsional puzzle that setting up an audio system presents.
When setting up a system in a problematic room, I always try to get a 'fix' on the room's sound.
