Try moving the speakers away from the back wall three inches at a time until the bass firms up. You may end up with them to far into the room so bass traps will be needed. When I ran my dedicated lines the most improvement was bass then detail. As stated above by moving breaker to other side can only effect eq. if the other appliance is running at the same time unless its a frig or something that is on all the time. The most important time to have breaker on same side is when multi dedicated lines are used, you want them on the same phase or leg of the sub panel. In my HT set up I run Paradigms and I find bass to be some what muddy, not as fast as I would like so that's where the sub comes into. I find these speakers need alot of room behind them. I think your best solution will be the bass traps! Another thing get rid of the crappy spikes that came with your speakers and pick some Michael Green Audio Points up as they worked for me. Good Luck Go to my system and scroll down to see my dedicated line project.
floorstanders on carpet over concrete
I have my Paradigm Studio Reference 100v.2 in the basement on berber carpet over concrete floor. Initially I didn't use spikes trying to place speakers before spiking them down (as you know, Paradigms are quite heavy and not easy to move around) and the bass "boominess" was very strong. After installing spikes the "boominess" has decreased somewhat, but didn't go away completely. Interestingly I didn't notice that much "boominess" before I installed two dedicated 20 amp. circuits, I guess that the bass extension improved dramatically, hence the "boominess" problem ( what a controversy). So I have a few questions:
1. Is the coupling (decoupling) to the floor is the one to blame? and what should I do about it? granite slabs b/w speakers on spikes and the carpet?
2. Is this the room acoustics? and the bass traps are in order?
Please, help!!! The further I move into this, the more problems seem to surface.
