I'm confused - Different music...different speakers?

Oh I've been playing with speaker positioning alright. I just last night moved them closer to the front wall (2 feet instead of 3 feet). The bass response is improved. My listening space (my Living Room) looks across the Hudson River and the Palisades...so yes we are unapologetically making compromises regarding room treatment.

@snaarch1 Thought I’d go from another approach. What is your room size? Untreated? Lot’s of hard surfaces? High/low ceiling?

If so, I would look into that as well as a possible source of the high frequency issues. Perhaps a DSP solution?

Understandable the constraint on room treatments but you’d be surprised at what’s out there that my actually work aesthetically.

Also, what’s the budget? Any constraints on placement that would affect your mains and/or sub(s?)

btw. happy to hear you enjoyed the results of your speaker positioning.

Thanks @hleeid. To answer your question the space is 14' wide by 28' long, roughly half living room and half dining room the Totem's fire down the long axis....after rearranging everything. It was not this way before and this is a big improvement. Ceilings are a standard American 8' NY condo ceiling height. Construction is a plus - floor  and ceiling slabs are concrete, as are demising walls. Floor is a floating hardwood floor over concrete. Ceiling is concrete (stippled). Speaker positioning....jury is still out but I've played with the position a lot. I had settled on the method describe by the Sumoku guide and was very pleased. Placing them closer to the front wall has added some bass but I've had them here before and I'm not sure I like the overall presentation. And here is way I think this.... The front wall is glass.....I know and am venturing a guess this has a lot to do with what I'm hearing.
so I think in many ways you and @kingdeezie  get to the heart of the matter no matter what speakers end up here. Budget? I'd like to retire one of these days and stop investing in stereo gear. LOL
Thanks

Here’s one more for you @smaarch1

Check out: DECWARE - Article about Setting up a Listening Room without Treatments

I tried this one room at a time.

My 12’ x 16’ foot office space most closely resembles figure 2. Harbeth SHL5+40s were initially firing down the long wall, then the short wall. I liked it the best set up as indicated on the decware site.

My 15’ x 15’ room (I know, squares are really bad) is set up in a similar manner as my office (but with a little asymmetry with the room corner they span). Both a new pair of Magnepan LRSs and an old pair of B&W 801 Matrix S2s sounded much better after the new vs traditional placement. Best improvement of all rooms.

My 10’ x 15’ spare bedroom is also now set up with corner asymmetry placement.

Only tried a new (ish) pair of LS50s and an old pair of Rogers LS3/5As in there. Since these are so easy to move around, I tried the long wall/short wall thing first before going with the diagonal placement.

Although not bad I'd say the Fillmore East recording is a bit unbalanced with most happening in the right speaker which makes a hard listening at higher volumes.

Studio albums fine.

A sonically (to me) better live recording from the same year would be Free - Live!
