Standing vs. Seated-Big Difference in Bass???

I own some Soliloquy 6.3's. The speakers are approx 7 ft apart and sitting area approx 8-9 ft. back. When I stand the bass is perfect. When I sit (same distance)the bass seems to be reduced approx 50-60%. Can someone tell me what is going on? I can do no better than getting 18 inches from back wall, large room 20x22 with semi vaulted ceiling. I have not installed the spikes. Using AR Vs110 (100 watt tube) amp. HELP

You do not mention how far out from the wall your speaker's woofers are from the wall behind them. If they are not located at least 5.5 ft out from that wall, then I would recommend trying anywhere from 5.5 to even 8 ft out (measured from the woofer's front).

At least move them out to see how well you can make them sound. Then you'll be in a better position to negotiate.
