You are clearly moving in the right direction. In general, speakers don't sound very good against a wall. They don't sound good against a side wall, and they don't sound good against a back wall. Thus putting them in a corner is very, doubly bad unless they are old style Klipshorns. The sad reality is that proper audiophile positioning is to keep the speakers several feet, often ten feet, from any wall. This not only fixes boomy bass, but allows time for signal to be delayed before it reaches your ears, or more precisely, lets the direct signal reach your ears and lets the reflected signals be delayed enough that your brain can separate them. Since the speed of sound is fixed, and your brain can't separate signals that are too close together, there is a limit where having the speakers too close to walls just smashes the sounds together. The bad part is that the number of feet required is about 5 feet, and unless you are single, the WAF of having speakers 8 feet from walls is near zero. But some time when the SO is out of the house. try moving the speakers and putting them in stands in a room at least 12x15. You will be amazed. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
