Over damped Room?


I recently moved into a smaller listening room (10' by 13') and had floor stander that had to go from old house...I ended up with some atc scm19 v2 and thought I was done with room treatments...lately I have been turning system up...way up to get some grunt/dynamics going...having 200 watts... today I removed the rear bass traps and man my speakers can breath again...

I was all set to get new subwoofer and cables...couldn't for the life of me figure what was missing...

Micro details,air more low end...Definitely worth trying.

Too much of anything is always a bad thing.  It's easy to get carried away with room treatments.  In my 10x14 room, I just have two panels in the front corners behind the speakers with the reflective side facing out.  A full size futon couch/bed doubles as the bass trap and listening seat.  
Generally, I prefer a live end acoustic on the speaker side and dead end closer to the listening position.
