In my toughest room acoustically, which is my wife's sunroom, it took me a long time to get something working well in there. Always either too much bass, too bright, or both.
Finally I ended up with a good solution currently in place using my Triangle Titus XL monitors on lower stands, only about 12" off the floor. This nails it pretty well. Higher up these were always too bright and not enough bass, whereas Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII monitors or my smaller OHMs had too much bass.
I was tempted to try/buy other speakers to attempt to solve the problem on several occasions, but resisted the urge, determined to make something I already had that was good work.
It's always fun to play with new toys though, so I suppose I missed out on that, but I already have more than I can listen to as much as I would like, so can't complain.
