Songs for Speaker Placement

@audionoobie, At least this is what I experience too. I am also experimenting a lot here... 

PS Audio founder Paul McGowan explains midbass in his youtube video titled "Optimal distance Between loudspeakers". I also find different listening distance from speakers affects bass as well. Bass null zones as they call it. You can hear more about it in a Youtube video by Dynaudio titled "A Master class in speaker placement" 1:56 distance to the wall.

Hope this helps.

I managed to place them at a good spot... it's been a year and finally found the right spot where all music plays well.

Finally got the bass managed well... moving out from the front walls tame the boominess, reducing speaker distance apart increases mid bass.

Thanks all for the hints. 

What do you guys think of Eric clapton’s unplugged? Any good?

@audionoobie, will try tin pan alley.

But how do you know where is what, I guess if the song comes with an actual sound map... maybe this is just asking too much :)

@soundermn , I had boomy problems too with Claptons album too. The song Old love, sounds boomy or muddy, I spent a few days tuning it.

I think I got what I wanted... I had my speakers too close the wall, I keep inching them out and now I am 2 feet from the wall. Mid bass is tighter, more profound and a lot less boomy. I also had them 'about' equidistant, now I've moved them using the 80% rule, it sounds better and better highs. Even an inch or 2 makes a big difference... try experimenting..
