What I will try this afternoon or tonight is to remove my seat completely and try a combination of different chairs at the same location, then move the chair that sounded the best backwards and forwards until I find the best sound. If that does not yield good results, then I will flip the room around 180 and see what effect that has.

These are brand new speakers that I got a week ago and in every respect they are superior to my previous pair. The previous pair had considerably less bass capabilities so I had to run them with the Subwoofers all the time, otherwise it sounded way to thin. But these new ones have really good bass for small drivers. It is a transmission line design with under hung drivers, similar to Thiel and Wilson. The bass out of these is of sufficient enough quantity and quality that I don't need a subwoofer engaged to hear good music. On movies, well the subs are obviously on.


Well, If you only get bass sitting 3 feet away from them, it doesn't matter how good the bass is. I mean to me, it only matters to me how good a speaker sounds at my listening position.
