Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments.
"If you're ambitious, you can try DIY panel traps. There isn't much in the way of designs and plans available on the net but you'll get the vague idea with research."All you ever wanted to know about bass trapping and acoustics is available at Eth... 
Small bookshelfs that reach 42 hz
Try a Marchand Bassis, you can get up to 2 octave extension in the bass. Also you can change the Q and it features switchable 20hz and rumble filters for you LP fans out there.http://www.marchandelec.com/wm8.htmBob

"New speakers may be far cheaper - or may do nothing to correct the problem". How would changing speakers change the room acoustics?bob 
Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments.
Thats the whole idea. Well part of it anyway. To reduce standing waves (peaks and nulls), along with modal ringing, which is just as important. To absorb or diffuse sound in the room to avoid ringing and flutter echoes, and improve stereo imaging.... 
Any Can fans out there?
Hi Nrachy, No its about the German progressive, experimental, space, world, avant-guarde, improvisational, ambient, electronic rock band. Not a one dimensional being, well at least in a metaphysical sense. Have you heard them? Very good recordings... 
Any Can fans out there?
Hi I am a "big Can fan". Just great music, well recorded and interesting changes in style and experimentation. Another example of what great rock is all about. Also the later solo LPs and collaborations are very good. I especially like Holger Czuk... 
Boston's Brad Delp passed away...sad news
Hi Slothman, Great story, those are the moments that do indeed make a life worth living. Wish I was there that day myself though I do have my own stories. These are the things that are important as we get older. Still "packin" still dreaming....Bob 
The punk band Crass
Hello, Fortunatly the "album covers/posters" have the lyrics for all songs as the vocalists have taken speed reading and singing to its ultimate conclusion. I dont know how they sing so fast. I find every album to be as good as the next and they s... 
Another room treatment convert
Hi newbee and fishboat, Dont worry my mind is fragile also, too much information running through my brain.... Yes you took me too literally when I said "ALL surfaces" I did not mean every square inch, but the six boundries. Though in a zen sense e... 
Another room treatment convert
Hi Newbee, Is is difficult to keep those couches and chairs on the ceiling and walls? I would reccomend a combination of bass traps and diffusion instead. They do look much more audiophile approved and are easier to hang. Plasic or real ficus/fern... 
What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage?
Hello all, Is my assumption correct that a small deviation in the frequency response at the phono stage is magnified by the time it reaches the speakers? In otherwords if you have a 1db variation at the phono section it is much more detrimental th... 
Synergy - how to get there
Hi Doug, Well said. My main reference to synergy is fine tuning all of the components, as they are single components within a system, but if you get it correct the whole is more than the sum of its parts. You can obtain this by tweaking each compo... 
Crank it up just once
Hi Jsd52756, The first thing you need to do is buy the radio shack or some other SPL meter. I prefer the analogue meter.Do this first and then let us know the level when you have it at 1:00 etc. Also all systems sound different when playing at dif... 
Synergy - how to get there
Hello, I think what I was trying to get at was that a system of components can get to a level that is optimized perhaps as best that it can be, within its limitations that are inherent in any design. Secondly that a good listener can bring out cer...
