JohnK,
Thanks for the insight. I have tried a number of different positions, but your mention of approx. 8.5 feet plus the fact that my ceiling is 8 feet got me thinking that perhaps I could improve things by raising the sub a bit. I also just read
this post and got curious. I got a piece of foam, raised the sub about 3.5 inches, and noticed an audible improvement. When I'm finally able to get my hands on an SPL meter (the whole Canadian / Radio Shack conundrum) I'll do some less subjective testing. Anyone in Victoria BC want to rent theirs to me??
Incidentally, my room is 17'8" x 14'8" x 8'. Here are pics (sharp eyes will notice the MiniVee):
If you can free view cross-eye stereo images (just cross your eyes 'til you see the image in 3d), you'll get a better sense of perspective here:

corner
Incidentally, I don't normally let my daughter watch so close to the TV...
