Horning Eufrodites - help needed with boomy bass

Assad,
You make some very good suggestions and have experience with these speakers. I 'd agree maximize speaker placement (although it seems there are some practical living room limitations). If this is only a partial solution then proper bass traps are an option to quell excessive bass energy into the room. I believe that the Hornings can work successfully in this room with some effort, it's a very good speaker. Amuseb, have you considered a professional consultant, your system is worth it.
Regards,

Have you considered it may be speaker-room interaction?
Acoustic bass traps may solve your problem.
These speakers can generate significant bass energy, how large is your room?
Regards,

That`s why I had made the earlier suggestion that a good bass trap for absortion of the excess bass energy.Why not give it some consideration? Changing placement has not helped and I don`t believe your amplifiers are the issue either(certainly not the Horning amp).You have a significant investment in your components, a bit more to try some bass absorption seems reasonable.Have you emailed Tommy Horning for his input?

That is a good idea for a ported speaker.If that does not work or if it partially solves the problem would some degree of bass absorption benefit him?
Regards,

Amuseb,
It`s good to know that such a simple (and cheap) solution has led to this level of improvement.Turning your speaker into a partially sealed box is obviously effective. I`m glad you can enjoy your system now.

Amuseb,
Tommy wasn't keen on the port damping approach apparently. Did he offer any suggestions for the bass issues you have? As the builder you'd think he knows this speaker better than anyone and could really help you.
Regards,

It would be very interesting to compare the "absorbing" product to the "mechanical grounding" method to hear which is more effective in minimizing/eliminating the bass boom . I'd hope Mr. Horning would offer more input, who has more insight on this speaker than him?
Regards,

Duke,
If one product`s purpose is to "absorb" or hinder vibrantion/resonance(attempting to isolate), this is different than "mechanical grounding"(MG). With MG there`s no attempt to absorb, rather you allow the vibration/resonance a rapid and complete exit channel to "gound" this energy into the floor.One seems opposite from the other.An example of the MG approach is the Star Sound system brass points and stands.

Bass traps were suggested early in this thead(there` no harm in trying them) to address room acoustics. There`s no reason why that and mechanical grounding can`t be done simultaneously,this is fundamental physics and the promblem can be solved.
Regards,

Time to give bass traps a try, you have nothing to lose.
