The farther your drivers, especially woofers, are from any wall or surface, the better. Booming low frequencies are impossible to absorb. Low frequencies are omnidirectional. Ever heard of ASC Tube Traps? They are the only product that absorb bass. And they ain't cheap. A 60Hz 15 inch trap is about $800. And you need 4 of them. My B&W Nautilus 802's would make any Klipsch sound like a Klipsch. The only worse sounding speaker was/is the Bose 901 Series III. Crappy sounding headphones too. When Nelson Pass was with Threshold he designed The Acoustic Shadows. Round circular units behind your loudspeakers. Had an mic and would play the low end out of phase. Lot of trouble to get rid of booming bass. Cost $2,000 in 1978.
