Smoother bass by running woofer out of phase?

Shum3s...hold yer horsies fella!! Funny how the obvious escapes most people, but not this here audiophile..no sir. What ya gotta do is move them pesky speakers to the long wall and sit within 18" of the opposite wall. Spread them out real good..10 to 12ft, and bring em out by ear until you achieve the best darn response you can get! Also, sit with yer ears below 36", and treat the front and back walls with acoustic material (natural nor not). You cannot decide where you will sit and place speakers...the room and the speakers decide, otherwise get a Bose radio.

Look, my humor aside...think about it..a 13 by 30 room?? The speakers themselves need at leats 10 t0 12 feet between them. Use the long wall and sit against the opposite side wall..your problems will go away!! Call Terry at Mapleshade for advice or check out the free tweaks section on the web site. Almost all reputable speaker manufacturers will tell you the same thing as I have...long wall, head against opposite wall, treat front and back walls, sit low and spread speakers apart with minimal toe in. You just might find yourself immersed in a complex musical soundscape...of course you may want to listen to someone with less experience. By the way, put the sub on proper spoked or coned feet, face it left or right (not in a corner or down firing) and put it in the plane of the midrange drivers. Use the best cable or IC connection you can and put a good power cord on it of possible. Enjoy!!

by the way, have your outlets checked for polariy...mis-wiring can give you an out of phase effect!!
