Speakers and ceiling..

The speakers are about 5' (front of woofer)from the rear wall.

Elescher,When you went from your acoustic ceiling to your current did you hear any improvement in bass?

Usually containing the bass in the room is the opposite of what you want, unless you're concerned about disturbing the neighbors. The reason for this is that it reflects around inside the room which acts like an organ pipe, giving you peaks and dips at various frequencies. So while keeping the bass in the room will increase bass levels at some frequencies, it will decrease it at others and give you time smear, pitch shift, and one-note bass.

So I'd look for other solutions, which could include new speakers, subs, or a bit of EQ (so as not to overdrive the woofers or amp). Also, if your room is too live, you adding some mid/hi frequency room treatment might improve balance by bringing those frequencies down some.

Josh358.Like I said earlier in the post no matter what speakers I put in this room the bass is not right .I just don't understand how the bass sounds best when I'm between the plane of the speakers .

Dunno, bass varies tremendously as you and the speakers move/are moved around the room. Rooms also vary tremendously in the frequencies at which they support or cancel bass depending mostly on their dimensions. Have you tried the old trick of putting a speaker in your listening seat and then crawling around to find the point at which the bass sounds best? Then try putting the speakers there.
