It would help to measure your room. Look into Room EQ wizard and get a mic. seriously.
Sound is better when I stand up?
Why is this? No matter my listening room (large basement with 7 1/2 foot ceilings or small office with 8’ ceilings), the sound is more open and more spacious when I stand up from my listening chair. When I sit, the sound compresses a bit. Sitting, the tweeters are about 5-6" above my ear level. Should I angle the speakers down?
My chair is at the apex of the .83 ratio Jim Smith suggests for getting better sound. I'm about 3' from the back wall and my standmount speakers are 3' from the front wall.
What acoustics are responsible for this?

@holmz no headrest, but it is a wingback. I wonder if that's an issue.

@paradisecom Reference 3a MM Gen 2. I've had iterations of reference 3as for many years. They are in phase and the tweeters are on the outside.
@designsfx The speakers are 8.3 ft apart and my listening spot is 10 ft from both woofers.
I do appreciate everyone trying to help. This is more out of idle curiosity than any burning desire to rectify the situation. It could be that when I stand up I'm also getting the reflections from the back wall, whereas when I'm sitting down, those reflections are absorbed by the chair. It is a small room after all. |
