Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY

I have EQ'd a few places in a professional environment and have experimented with eq's in audiophile systems. There is no doubt that if you have a spectrum analyzer and a mic that you can eq a room to be perfectly flat. It is a must in a church or even a night club. My experience in the audiophile home setting is not as good. There is always a grain involved or even though bass is now flat and accurate, the amp seems to have lost attack or mid range is natural, but has lost a sparkle or warmth. I prefer room treatments first and a RTA & EQ last. I am a electronics buyer (among other things) by profession, so I still go to quite a few shows. Recently I came across a well known mid to high end line (sorry, I forgot which one, I'll write if it pops in my head)that had an RTA and Mic Built into a Receiver, this is a line that I normally thought of as seperates. They eq'd the room fairly quickly and I have to say that I was quite impressed. No, not hard core Hi end, but Nice bottom, smooth mid, a high end that was not nasty and had a sound stage. So, I believe that it can be done. Maybe I haven't found a good enough eq.

By the way Kijanki, a reverb effect is exactly why we treated high ceilings. Things just bounced around up there and made their way back down, it came across as a delay effect.

I don't want to sound flippant but put your speakers back where they were and fit the furniture to accommodate the stereo. IMHO it is much easier to fit furniture around a stereo the visa versa. Considering the cost of equipment verses furniture (at least in my house) letting the tail wag the dog is unconscionable. Good Luck!

Gsself I married an Italian from long island. Enough said. :)

I defer to your domestic happiness! Godspeed.
