speaker/room bass modes

Question: If a room has a 60hz suckout with speakers "A" which have the woofers one on top of the other at the bottom of the cabinet, and you replace them with speakers "B" which have a different woofer configuration, one low and one high on the baffle and possessing a different crossover and radiation pattern, and place them in pretty much identical postions within the room, will the suckout remain? Does the room have the final influence on reproducing the frequecy or can it be overcome with a different delivery from the speaker?

I am using a digital Radio Shack meter and Stereophile test cd3 which I've been told is not very accurate in the bass. I know Rives has a test cd calibrated for the analog Radio Shack meter. I only have the digital meter and wonder if the Rives disc would be a better source for making measurements than the Stereophile tracks? Using my current test equipment, I referenced 80db at 1khz and my greatest variation is -7db at 63hz and +4db at 40hz.

The system sounds good but lacks some punch. I'm always looking for improvements.

I ordered the test cd from Rives and will see how that compares with the Stereophile cd. I do not suffer from any bass boom at all. It's just a general feeling that I get more thud than thump.
