Wilson MAXX II speakers-

anyone willing to offer their opinions on these speakers-
how great an improvement do they represent over the maxx-I?
i liked thw maxx's but i wonder if they're a bit much for a 14x20 room. my eggleston andra-II's are already "shaking the walls"! too bad wilson doesn't make a w.puppy with an 8 and a 10 or two 10's (woofers) & refine/replace the tweeters (with a scanspeak or a dynaudio)--(soft dome). but, i truly love the build quality of wilsons...

Can anyone help?

I have the Maxx 2 in a large room, 25 x 16 x 10 feet. Right now the speakers are about 9 ft from front wall and about 9 ft apart.

My problem is that I cannot experience low bass at the sitting position. The lowest bass is always to the right and left of the sitting position between the chair and the side wall.

Any experience on how to resolve this is appreciated.

Sounds like you are sitting in bass null, only way to fix that is to move your listening position, or add room treatments, which for bass can become quite expensive.

I attended a presentation given by Tony Grimani MSR he covered this very subject very extensively.

Best of luck

I would move the speakers a little backward, may be a foot or so, towards to the front wall. In general, this will add more punch on bass at the expense of shallower sound stage.
