Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY


Hello,

I have a bit of a problem. We bought new furniture for the living room where the stereo is and after replacing a couch, adding a chair and moving the speakers and audio rack down about 2 feet towards the corner and the speakers which where about 3 feet off the wall before are now about 14" off the wall.

I now have this unnatural sub boom and since I am using thiel 1.6 which have very little if any sub freq I can only assume its the room.

I understand that moving stuff around can do this, but its such a big change and I really dont have much room to play with.

Are there any cheap cheap cheap ways of fixing boom bass in a room.

The room is 12' X 26' with 9' ceilings.

If you look at my system pix the stereo is sorta in the same place with minor adjustments.

Any help would be super awesome.

You might try some panels behind the speakers to absorb some of the sound. Something in the corners may help too. I mean this a DIY option, like foam behind and maybe 4-5ft body pillows for the corners. Just some thoughts.

Other than moving the speakers and/or listening position, no. And even if you were willing to spend lots of bucks you still might not be able to solve the problem w/out moving the speakers.

But you might do some research on room acoustics which might help you find a solution to you problem or, at least, understand why you can't fix it.
