I take it that you balanced the sound towards the speaker by the opening and away from the speaker close to the wall. Therefore the reduction is bass. Probably will have to reposition volume on sub, and possibly the sub itself.
Balance adjustment?
I've been plenty happy with a system (Parasound components/Ascend Towers) I've had for a few years now but always kind of bothered with the asymmetrical room. There's no way I can set up the system without having one speaker close to a wall and the other with next to an opening.
I never tried handling this with the balance controls before but decided to play around with this strategy this week. At first, I nudged it just a bit, and I didn't notice any real difference, but then I moved it almost a quarter turn. All of a sudden the images seem sharper, but even more so, the timbre of the instruments feel more realistic. At the same time, the bottom end dropped out a little.
Anyone want to chime in on whether you think this is placebo effect, or if this really made such a difference? Or how to keep the new-found clarity without losing the punch of the bass (turn the sub up a bit?)
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Andrew.
