First post! I just received my Forte IIIs today. Mids and highs are fine, but I'm having an issue with bass.
Our room is limited such that I can only place the speakers 1.5ft from the wall and 4ft apart max because there is a door on one side and a window on the other side (and bare concrete floor...I'm working on room treatment but that's another post).
I'm experiencing solid bass when standing outside the speakers, but there's a dramatic drop-off if I'm in front of them, or anywhere between them including at my listening position 8ft from the speakers. Varying placement within the above parameters or toe-ing in isn't affecting bass. Powering them with a Hegel H160 (old) through 5ft Audience Ohno IIIs (brand new).
Is there something else I should be trying?
