Cardas Speaker placement..
Placement must stay at the current location as all my dedicated lines are at that end..The other side of the room is asymmetrical so that's why I originally chose to set up the system on this side of the room.. 
Cardas Speaker placement..
When I first moved into the house I did try it along the long wall .the results where not that good, bass was the same with a lot less soundstage depth..Though I settled in on the short wall.

Stuartbmw3'..All the info on the cardas site is great and very useful,but try there method first.I tried it several days ago with my speakers and it didn't work.The calculations for there speaker placement put my speakers 4 ' from the side wall wi... 
Cardas Speaker placement..
My listening position is a little greater from the speakers then the speakers are apart .This seems to be the over all best position..but the bass is not there..

I'm convinced the room is everything.Get this right and your halfway there..I think alot of audiophiles leave this out of the equation .Or just don't want to admit it. 
Cardas Speaker placement..
I tried every possible placement with my speakers as well with always the same result.Great imaging but no bass. 
Cardas Speaker placement..
Not sure but whould this make a system sound lean? 
Cardas Speaker placement..
Philjolet,you were saying about "out of phase"All hook ups are correct but it doesn't mean the guy before me didn't do something goofy to the speakers.How can I tell if everything's correct internally..?The bass modules are separate from the satel...

Take a look at my system.looks good too,right.Well I'm going through the same thing..It 's the room,I guarantee it's the room.You have nice gear and It should sound better then a IPod.. 
Bass and Bass Traps
I'm not seeing any comment for your thread with a solution.I just posted a tread similar to this one .I am having the same exact issue with my system.Only when I go between the speakers does It sound nice and full.Maybe our room dimension just suc... 
Cardas Speaker placement..
It's not the amount of bass it's the lack of..I don't know if I over did it with treatments.In the corners I use the LENRD bass traps In the corners on the walls i'm using some DIY panels I made from 3" 705 rigid fiber glass framed in wood.The top... 
Cardas Speaker placement..
Thanks for the response everyone.I guess it's a give and take with this whole thing.I move them out and the imaging and soundstage is great but the bass goes away..But even when I put the speakers close to the back wall the bass is just not right.... 
Upgrading interconnects?
Tpsonic You got me on this one.All I know is that in 15 years of going to different audio stores and shows the best sounding systems were always wired with MIT cable. Though I would like to try some other brand's and I have in the past.It always s... 
Upgrading interconnects?
Tpsonic, When I think of "out of phase "like your saying,The imaging should be not focused and it sounds really goofy.I never got this from MiT nor any system that's wired by MIT.I'm Not following you on you statement.. 
Upgrading interconnects?
Tpsonic,("You might be amazed at what getting rid of passive components in the signal path can do.Akin to preamps and amplifiers.These components all contribute something.Correcting phase relationships after-the-fact doesn't make sense to me").I t...
