low bass response


My system, which is shown on my profile, does not seem to produce the low bass I would expect it to.  I listen near field, and my room is 13'x30'x9'....in your experience, is this most likely due to my room and near field position?

Thank you all

my space is immutable, as is the cabinet…I am happy w the sound, just lacks lowest bass, <35 hz

no worries!

so, "hear" is a question I dont understand....I do understand that low frequency waves require space, but what I dont understand  is what is invovled in hearing and measuring them....for instance, if you put on a 20hz test tone, and put the db meter close to the woofers, should you be able to measure there, or only at certain distnaces?

Your thoughts are all appreciated. Some of us don’t have flexibility with space, and make the most of what we have….

thx, again... the basic configuration CANNOT be changed...the cabinet contains all my equipment, except amp, speakers, and shunyata, and 1000+ LPs.....despite what is the "gospel" about things inbetween speakers, my system has wonderful soundstage, including depth....

my question about measuring bass maybe needs to be clearer....of course, the response at listening position is . in the end, what is important, what i wish to understand is . if one plays a 20 Hz test tone and places the db meter just in front of the woofers, should one get a reading, or does one need to be quite a bit further away to get any reading at all?  I guess I am hungup on the "length of such a wave, and where, in relation to such a wave, does one hear, or in this case, feel it?
