Songs for Speaker Placement

What do you guys think of Eric clapton’s unplugged? Any good?

@audionoobie, will try tin pan alley.

But how do you know where is what, I guess if the song comes with an actual sound map... maybe this is just asking too much :)

I find that Clapton's Unplugged is boomy in the bass area.  It seems to come from the fact that his mic is on a stand, and the floor is wood.  When he bounces his foot, it reverberates through the mic boom, and you hear it as a hollow boomy sound.

Am I the only one who hears it this way?

I don’t hear it as boomy. I hear it as dynamic and resonant.  It’s his boot heel.

Maybe "boomy" is the wrong word... but I do notice it being very prominent.  Otherwise, it's a stellar recording, but might be a little tricky to use for speaker placement.  Not sure... I haven't tried.

@soundermn , I had boomy problems too with Claptons album too. The song Old love, sounds boomy or muddy, I spent a few days tuning it.

I think I got what I wanted... I had my speakers too close the wall, I keep inching them out and now I am 2 feet from the wall. Mid bass is tighter, more profound and a lot less boomy. I also had them 'about' equidistant, now I've moved them using the 80% rule, it sounds better and better highs. Even an inch or 2 makes a big difference... try experimenting..
