Off-topic, but if these are like my old Response 3 speakers, you need to keep an eye on the screws/bolts that secure the woofers. Mine tended to unscrew themselves periodically, which resulted in loose, flabby bass. Keep 'em tight, but not TOO tight so as not to strip the threads. Good luck, Dave
Foam plugs for Proac Response 3.8?
I just bought a minty pair of Proac Response 3.8s here on Audiogon, and am finding that the bass is overloading my 13 x 28' room. Because of the way the room is set up, I need to listen in the short dimension (speakers positioned along the long dimension on either side of the fireplace), in about a 10' triangle.
The bass is a little too strong, and I can't move the speakers further away from the wall (about 2' of clearance now) as they're already in the nearfield.
Would putting a bit of light foam in the double ports help tone down the bass, or do I need to go with a smaller speaker?
P.S. I'm driving them with an Audio Research Vsi60 integrated with the new KT120s.
Thanks for any help and advice.
