low frequencies

Hey all, Running a pair of Thiel CS2.4 floor standing speakers and the bass is only sounding best when i'm not seated and in a rear corner of the room such as is where the equipment rack is. Is their a tradeoff in other areas of the sound quality to get more low frequency at the seated listening position?

the key is: those speakers, in that space, at that location

I suggest: Get thee a simple Sound Pressure Meter, tripod, set at ear height at listening position

next a test cd with individual tones. Note: I scanned several Stereophile Test CD’s, others, none of them have the full range of frequencies this test disc has (29).

you will know how flat of a frequency response your speakers are producing, IN That Space, AT that location.

Next, try new positioning and different toe-in, measure the differences.

Amazing Bytes is hard to find, and expensive, I can find a used copy if interested.
