Cardas Speaker placement..

Once again I'm playing around with speaker placement.After reading some from the cardas site I fiqure I would try this method.After putting my dimension's in the calculator it says 4' from the sitde walls.I went with this but the final set up looks rediculous".The speakers look smashed together.does this seem right in a 14.5' room or did I do something wrong..?My room is 14.5' x 22' x7'.The reason for the change in placement is the bass is never right to me..I tried other speakers in this room with the same results..Thanks

I tried every possible placement with my speakers as well with always the same result.Great imaging but no bass.

Spaz, if out of phase the one woofer goes out while the other woofer goes in, cancelling each other out, because both are supposed to go out at the same time (which increases sound pressure instead of equalizing it)

According to Jim Smith, the listening position, rather, than a speakers placement, has more profound effect on the bass perception.
I can concur his findings in my room.

My listening position is a little greater from the speakers then the speakers are apart .This seems to be the over all best position..but the bass is not there..

I found Jim Smith's book "Get Better Sound" the best source for the info on system set up.
I used to have the same "problem" with "no bass", until I followed his system.
The bass is always there, you just have "to find it"
