You might be sitting in a NULL spot. I use the 1/3 speaker setup and have used the 1/5 setup in the past. This means placing the speakers 1/3 of the room length from the rear wall and my listening position is also 1/3 from the wall behind. Since you are hearing a lot of bass 45 ft away, I would try using different speakers and listening positions in your room. Check out speaker room setup from the likes of Cardas and others
Open Floor Plan Listening Room
Hi All,
I have an open floor plan listening room. Any ideas on how to close off the room in order to improve lower frequency bass response? I’m looking for room dividers that can be made to close off the space when I want to listen to music, but have aesthetic qualities and can be opened/closed easily. The open plan consists of my living room and kitchen together at 45’ L x 17’ W x 10’ H.
The open section separating the kitchen/living is 15’ W x 9’ H.
I don’t have other room options in my home.
Any help appreciated. Speakers are Apogee Duetta Signature. I have moved them around to make a difference but still need to close off the room behind sitting area to get the lower frequency bass I desire.
TIA!
