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?

Clearly you have not chosen the right speakers for your room.  The NS5000 are WAY too big.  Adding subs to that room is insane.

Best solution... get a bigger room.

Second best... get rid of those subs and speakers and choose the right monitors for your room.

AHA !!!


If these are the original NS 5000 I strongly suggest you get Troel’s crossover upgrades:

Everything I was complaining about in your measurements (except for the choppy HF) is fixed here.

Otherwise, DSP is a necessary option. If you don’t want to do the EQ yourself, Anthem makes a pre and integrated that will do it for you and integrate your sub.



Best,

He has NS5000... not NS1000... how did you make that mistake?
