Bass/Room probelm

I have theil 2.2s that are place four feet out from the back wall (all glass) and 3 feet in from each side wall in an L shaped room that is roughly 24 ft by 22 ft with a 11 ft by 11 ft inset in one corner. Using a radio shack spl and stereophile test cd (vol 1)my bass response measures (and sounds)10db higher than normal at 31 hz and 10 db lower than normal at 64 hz and is otherwise pretty flat from 20 hz to 150 hz. What is going on? Is there anything I can do to address this with speaker placement/ room treatment etc?

Thanks

Hi Greg,

I own a pair of 2.3 s, and was experiencing bass problems with my 12 x 15 listening room. I have had good luck with floor to ceiling Jon Risch’s DIY Bass Traps. I have also been corresponding with ASC and Garfish(Agon) on their new Planar Trap for sidewall reflections.

I currently have my Thiels 46” off the rear wall and 31” from the side 5’ 6” between the speakers. Listening position is 3ft behind the nearfield listing position. For my room this is the most natural sounding location.

Hope this helps.

Dave
