Is the room sufficiently filled with enough items, such as a sofa, ottoman, bookcase, etc? Do you have carpet or something else? When I moved into my new house, my stereo system preceded all the furniture by a few weeks. In my listening room, the bass coming from my ProAc D28's sounded loose and untamed. Once I got my listening chair, ottoman, bookcase, and a few pillows in there, the problem went away.
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.
