Nautilus 801 bass/room size amplifiers

Thank's for all of the great suggestions.
I've improved the bass to a listenable quality by moving the speakers about 6 feet out. Originaly I didn't think this could work because this puts the chair close from the back wall and from past experiments with other speakers this ruined the midrange, anyway whith the 801 everthing improved, soundstage, more relaxed sound and less brite. I will try even further as stehno sugjested.

I just plugged my room size in rives program on the website(informative) and the speaker position came out close to what I have now but I'm going to try the exact placement. I can see needing rives eq(good reviews) at some point and I imagine it to work good with a bi-amp system as it could be inserted before the woofer amps only?.. Comments please.

Has anyone heard the improvements from raising the 801 off the floor?

my 801's are placed almost exactly as rives simulator shows(around 5 feet from the front of the speaker) except I went for further apart(around 7.5 feet apart inside to inside). My room is 17 by 20 not 19 by 20. I measured wrong initialy. My seat is about 2.5 to 3 feet from the back wall. When I look at this it seems close to the wall to me and I picture a major reflection, which there is when the volume is turned up. I'm expanding my room to 27 feet.

Asin I'd like to know how you feel about the bass accuracy from 801. Check out thread: nautilus 801 bass accuracy... Thank's
