XLR question for bass

OP

Thanks for the photo… that was worth a lot of words. Nice system and speakers. That looks like a really challenging space. I am not sure how I would approach it.

I have met a few people with skills good enough to go into the room and they would say, “move this here and this here, let’s make a short absorbent plank here to throw the sound here… but I have met few. I would send a photo of the space when talking to possible help. You might ask a couple of the closest very high end audio store managers if they know anyone… it is quite possible they might have the skill. A professional audio consultant might be skilled at building spaces… not tweaking within such a confined space. Interview carefully.

I’d really like to help… but I’d have to be there and listen… and maybe something would come to me, maybe I would draw a blank. Good luck. If you get it set up to your satisfaction I’d really be interested in how.

Odd shaped rooms are good. They cut down on specific reflection points. Look forward to photos, that is helpful. And dimensions. 
 

You probably do not need a consultant. There are lots of references to methods to dial in speakers.

Just to make sure, they are broken in? Make sure they fave several hundred hours on them. Your description fits new unbroken in speakers as well.

Very unlikely XLR will help bass… it may or may not sound better in your system… if it does it will likely be very small.

Your best bet is speaker placement. Moving the speakers back and forth from the wall, and your listening position. Room treatments, tube traps can tame flabby or too much bass. How big is your room, where are speakers, what kind of speakers?
