I have my speakers out from the front wall 24", 8' apart and 4' from the side walls. Soundstage is very 3-dimensional. When I push the speakers closer to the front wall, say 6", the bass is improved and the tweeter energy sounds toned down. However, I do lose the soundstage. Someone, in one of my posts insisted that my preamp and amplifiers are not a good match for my speakers. Can anyone elaborate as to why?

@onehorsepony unfortunately as you hear for yourself in your space... Speaker/room synergy is more important than any amp you buy. Bass nulls don't just go away because you got a new amp. this is how people here get stuck in a cycle of purchasing things because someone told them it will solve something without actually addressing the physics of why there are nulls in the bass region in rooms. What you need is a measurement mic and Room EQ Wizard, corner bass traps and a subwoofer |
@kofibaffour +1 Room EQ Wizard The first thing to do if you want to fix a problem, is to determine exactly what the problem is. |
What do you have for amp,preamp as well as loudspeaker cables and power cords each one part of the sum of the whole can has a sizable impact if you would state what you have it can be determined if it is sufficient I have 40+ years in audio , and owned an Audio store . first thing how big is your room ? How har are speakers from the wall ? the closer to the wall more bass reinforcement All of the above count , another big thing since I have rebuilt the important Xovers if your speaker is over 10-15 years old the Capacitors dry out which would cause Detail and or low frequency response to be greatly effected !! |
