Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY


Hello,

I have a bit of a problem. We bought new furniture for the living room where the stereo is and after replacing a couch, adding a chair and moving the speakers and audio rack down about 2 feet towards the corner and the speakers which where about 3 feet off the wall before are now about 14" off the wall.

I now have this unnatural sub boom and since I am using thiel 1.6 which have very little if any sub freq I can only assume its the room.

I understand that moving stuff around can do this, but its such a big change and I really dont have much room to play with.

Are there any cheap cheap cheap ways of fixing boom bass in a room.

The room is 12' X 26' with 9' ceilings.

If you look at my system pix the stereo is sorta in the same place with minor adjustments.

Any help would be super awesome.

I don't want to sound flippant but put your speakers back where they were and fit the furniture to accommodate the stereo. IMHO it is much easier to fit furniture around a stereo the visa versa. Considering the cost of equipment verses furniture (at least in my house) letting the tail wag the dog is unconscionable. Good Luck!
LOL, ok I just moved the thiels about 6 more inches into the room and moved the chair toward the speakers just a little more than 1 foot off the wall and it sounds very pleasing.

I don't like the fact i have to move the chair but i guess it will do for now.

in fact the little extra bass response is nice. "Color Rit" has a nice little punch.

I have to run some more test before I say that my problem is fixed.
