Help with NHT 3.3 s


Am I doing somthing wrong or is it just room problems?
Any help from NHT experts would be greatly appreciated.
My problem is I'm getting fantastic bass response from
every where in the house except the listening spot!!??.
When I stand behind the listening spot, bass is great.
When I move all around the living room and throughout
the house, the bass is great. But when I go sit down, the
bass kind of disappears?

I have the speakers 1" against the back wall and about
10' apart, in a 20x20x12 room with a big screen TV and
rack in between. The speakers sound fantastic in all other areas (Imaging sound stage, mid's ...etc...
but I want the bass I hear everywhere else in the house,
in my spot.
I have tried moving foward...backward...pulling them out,
(didn't help) and everything else (I think).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh btw...My gear is Rowland Model 5B, Cary tube pre amp,
and Cambridge C-500.
I'm fixing to change to Rowland model 7 Mono's & Muse
model 3 pre amp.

Thanks,
Bob

NHT recommends placement of the speakers against the back wall, and a listener distance of 1.5x the distance between the two speakers. With the slanted baffles, this placement should work for almost any room, at least for the sweet spot, but is quite different from other speaker placement formulas that are optimal for other speaker lines. -Kirk
