Ohlala: Look in Stereophile Guide to Home Theater for an archive with a worksheet where you can run calculations with different speaker positions and that will provide you (hope) a position where less increment and better allaround bass response might be achieved. This are guides and I recommend you get the SPL and play with positioning. Good luck
Bad room, bad tunes
I recently moved into a cramped apartment, my listening room being 10x11x8. I have a pair a Hales Rev. twos (8" sealed) that have been placed in many spots, but the powerful standing waves persist, and the highs are very fatiguing at louder volumes. The imaging sucks too. Will acoustic room treatment help, or is it just too much speaker for such a small room (thinking of swapping for Merlins or N805s)? Could I get some recommendations on effective, but not too expensive treament? Thank you everyone, it is a dark hour in Ohlala audio.
