Just pushed the harbeths closer to the front wall (from 3' 2" to 2'2") tried before and after moving seating position forward. First impressions are it sounds a lot worse. No increase in bass. This seems to run counter to the laws of speaker physics. LOL. "Something" seems to be sucking some of the bottom end out. I'm not a bass junky either and I realize the 30.1's bottom out at 50HZ. Excellent recordings are still tolerable but jeese this is crazy. I am noticing that the volume is a lil higher to get the same sound level. That's a lil odd. So I'm compensating for something with the volume control. Maybe things are a little less lean...but not as loud.??? Isn't this fun!!!
Happy listening
