Horning Eufrodites - help needed with boomy bass
The front left side is the culprit..I thought this was in the back of the room. The wall is deflecting and reinforcing the bass and the cabinet below and the space below that is acting as a storage drum. Wow your room looks great..but consider tak...

The Brawny Lads meet Depends...Who leaked these photos. Actually the TP probably sounds better than fiberglass and won't damage your lungs or scratch your anus. Tom

As Charles suggested and someone else..try a bass trap or easier and cheaper now to try would be a roll of fiberglass. Move it around near the niche. You could make your own trap when ready ..of wooden dowels, sheeps wool and that nasty fiberglass... 
Vibration
Electrons and atoms as they move generate vibration. You don't want to trap the vibration you want to provide a way for it to leave.Tom

Have you swapped speaker position left to right? The angle thing..needs to be larger and denser than the painting. Tom

I think Duke's idea is a very good one and easy to undue if you don't like the results. The following is also easy to try. The replacement or reduction of 90 degree angles that I mentioned earlier there is one major angle you can try replacing. Th...

AmusebIf you listen near any boundary, floor, wall and even the ceiling you will hear more bass travel along those surfaces than travel down the more central areas of the room. The idea I suggest and one I use is to redirect the energy from those ...

Everything mentioned are steps.The first step should be grounding the speaker. Until the grounding is done there will be no stable launch pad. As for the room itself geometric angles and shapes strategically placed will redirect low frequency and ...

As described this is the approach to take. Like I said previous until this is done any amount of retuning will be masked by the fact that the speaker is Not grounded. Same thing happens with a acoustic instrument that touches the floor. In a cello...

Your first step should be to couple the speaker and then wait a few days for the unit to find ground. Until you do this properly your retuning of the enclosure may lead down a path of continual frustrating results. There are ways to mechanically g...

The Horning website is pretty lean of info and pictures. There was a model reviewed on 6 Moons way back and it appears that they have made an attempt to couple the speaker to the floor. You do not want to damp any speaker you want to couple the sp...

Well there is a Paris Kentucky and I reckon the word reckon is used there many times a day as it is in Louisville, that other French name sake.I'd have to ponder the variovent and how many and what size. That's probably more than just drilling a r...

These have been around for 15 years or more and they work.MB Quart had them as well as Audio Conceptshttp://www.gattiweb.com/images/dynaudio/variovent_data.pdfTom

Try using mechanical grounding devices under your speakers and components they work. They direct mechanical resonace and energy stored within the component to ground. Less boom and blurr.. Tom 
Vibration
YesHaving separate mechanical ground planes for each piece of equipment makes for a noticeable improvement. Also there is increased lateral rigidity because of the floor proximity to the piece of gear as well as a shorter path for vibration to mig...
