I agree with others that it's likely to be a room and placement problem. What kind of wall is behind the 3.3s? If you are getting bass in other rooms, it's leaking out of the listening room. I would bet you have a standard, modern, junky wallboard wall behind them. (I have the same junk in my house.) You could move to a house with real plaster walls, build a brick wall behind them, or more realistically if remodeling is a possibility, reinforce the wall behind them with additional layers of sheetrock. If none of that is possible, experiment with positioning and add more materials that will absorb higher frequencies. I would also suggest consulting a book on acoustics; e.g., Alton Everest's volume. I hope this is helpful or at least throught-provoking.
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
