Oh, as an experiment, throw a blanket over the armoire. You'll be amazed at the changes. :) You can do the same by throwing some cushions into the corners or hanging up blankets. Anything you can do to demonstrate the changes would help you move in the right direction.
low bass response
My system, which is shown on my profile, does not seem to produce the low bass I would expect it to. I listen near field, and my room is 13'x30'x9'....in your experience, is this most likely due to my room and near field position?

The frequency of the low E string on a bass guitar is 41Hz. The wavelength would be 837 cm or 8.37 m. You mention that you are listening in the near field. How far back are you sitting? Perhaps there just isn’t enough distance between your speaker and listening chair for that waveform to hit your ear. I agree with the poster above and try walking around. I found that two Rel T/i5 subs did the trick nicely in my room. Best of luck! Nice system BTW.

Like @ozzy62 posted, you need to quantify what you mean by 'low bass response'. To do that, use a test tone to find out the bass extension you're currently getting and how even that response is. I've used the following audio test from Audiocheck in the past - link. Unfortunately, this test leaves out the vinyl playback chain.
You can try adjust the speaker settings / positioning as well as your listening position (if you can). For example, if the speaker sounds too bright, set the treble control to -0.5 dB or -1 dB. Adjust the bass control to 'Normal' if set to 'Contour' or 'Boundary'. Move the speakers closer to the back wall.
As @wlutke mentioned, try walking around the room while the test tone is playing to identify potential listening positions with the level of bass you're seeking.
If none of these seem to work, then it's time to consider adding a subwoofer or two. |
