The best success I have had is using the Vandersteen speaker placement calculations for the main speakers. This is available on their website. I have two subs. I have 11 acoustic panels, diffusers and traps. I can walk around my room and the music sounds good. It was not that way at all previously. Several peaks and nulls. Good luck.
Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position
I guess this is relatively common in listening system. Is there any way to smooth this out so I get more bass energy at my listening position? This happens with our without my 2x 18 inch subs. Room is 12 x 16 x 8 ft, speakers 4.5 ft apart on long axis and I am sitting 4.5 feet away. I tried moving back and forward but the entire middle center of the room except near the walls has decreased bass.
Is this a boundary effect or could it be due to bass cancellation effects?
