Speaker placement is the single most important part of the setup of a system and will in a big way determine the quality and quantity of the bass. Granted room demensions will also have a big effect on the bass responce of a room.
One other big words of advise is when placing speakers in a room do not have any accoustical treatment in the room. You want to place your speakers so one the bass is were you want it and the room has the least effect on the sound. You will hear it. Ive seen to many people, and many well respected audiophiles that try placing speakers with a room full of sound panels. WRONG As far as bass traps. Problem is that in order to effect bass in a room they must be very large. In wall Helmholtz resonators are the only way to effect the bass to any degree. They need to be built into the walls and holes drilled to tune them to the frequencys your trying to effect. Trust me try speaker placement first. lol Kevin
