Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why?


Aside from Klipsch corner speakers, who does this?

I was 15 and a audio shop in Denver called ListenUp bought a truckload of Klipsh Heresy's and told the sales guys to dump them. I even put industrial 12in woofs in them. Couldn't buy a below 60Hz note from them. Do you think David Wilson would sell such crap?
Had an Apt 100W amp and nothing. Buy B&W or Theil or Vanderstein or Martin Login or Rockport or Wilson Audio Specializes. Pass amplifiers won't hurt...
Or get some good headphones and DAC/Amp. My girlfriend can't stand Pink Floyd The Wall. 802's shake the whole house. In my humble opinion that's what high-end is supposed to do!!
chrismini: " 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."

Hello chrismini,

     There's a better solution for about the exact price of 4 ASC Tube Traps ($3,200).  It's called the Audio Kinesis Swarm distributed bass array (DBA) system,it was mentioned earlier on this thread and it's a much more elegant solution than bass traps.  It provides near sota bass performance in virtually any domestic sized room and integrates seamlessly with virtually any pair of main speakers, regardless of main speaker type (dynamic, planar-magnetic or electrostatic).  
     The Swarm requires absolutely no mics,room correction software or hardware, parametric equalization or bass room treatment absorbers but all of these can be utilized with the Swarm if preferred. 
     I've used this system in my room and system for over 5 yrs now and can verify the Absolute Sound review of this system linked below is a very accurate description of what to expect in one's room and system.
