Interesting (or not) dilemma
Assuming you can't get rid of your wife anytime soon for whatever reason, the best solution may be some form of room EQ. Something like the DSpeaker anti-mode 2.0 would take care of the hump and probably some other issues, and I've seen them pop up used from time to time for 500-600 bucks. http://www.dspeaker.com/en/products/20-dual-core.shtml I doubt a sub will help since you'll likely want to cross it over well below 100Hz, although a sub is still a good idea for the other significant benefits it can bring. The anti-mode 2.0 can help integrate that as well. Best of luck with this. |
Here ya go: http://tripp.com.au/sbir.htm Enter dimensions in mm to find the likely frequencies of your peaks and nulls - experiment with placement accordingly. |

Thanks--you guys have made me think about this with better perspective. I gotta do something about the room. The funny thing about the "issue" is the problem only occurs on certain recordings and specific pieces of music on those recordings. For eg--the Jayhawks "The Eyes of Sarah Jane" when the bass player hits one note at each exact same point in the song--there is a loss of control and the bass literally booms. The rest of the song (and the record)--the bass is tight and beautifully controlled/balanced. So, at one bass frequency the speaker appears to lose control--it performs well at lower and higher frequencies in the "bass range." I am taking some advice a few posts ago and am going to reconfigure my room--putting the speakers in the center away from back walls and my listening position also away from any back wall. Luckily we are looking to move in a year or so and I can have "room" to design my listening room! |
