Booming bass from WP6


Why do I have this problem?
ML 432 amp
ARC Ref2 Mk2 preamp
Esoteric DV50 CD
HT-Pro 9Plus SC
Analysis Plus Interconnect.

Live in a condo 300sqft - listining room - woodfloor.
Been told my WP's too big for room- Kharma 3.2 recommended instead, but auditioned them and found sound too etchy...
Advice please..

Perhaps your sitting in an area affected by a standing wave. Try moving your chair and see if there is any change. Ditto your speakers. If you want specific help you can post your room dimensions and indicate where your chair and speakers are now located, or do some research into room acoustics in the archives on this site, in Audio Asylum FAQ's, and/or look at the Rives site.
Iujona, More encouragement to experiment - I have full range speakers, w/a -3db point of 28hz, in a 263sq ft room (13.5x19.5x9) and I do not have boomy bass, unless you call a 5db hump at 32hz boomy. Lots of listening, testing and mapping (and moving stuff about) produced some excellent results. It can be done unless the room's dimensions (not the square footage) are working against you .............
