Here's my constant recommendation for this and many other room acoustics issues: buy F. Alton Everest's "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget" or his "Master Handbook of Acoustics, 4th Edition". You'll learn how to analyze your room quantitatively, and learn what you can do about room resonant modes that give you boomy bass. If you read most of it, you'll learn how to deal with problems arising above 300 Hz too, with absorption and diffusion.
help with a sometimes boomy sounding room..
Well, here's my low down.
my listening room size: 10'6" wide x 13'length x 7'2" Hi.
my gear: Classe CA-201 w/ reference XLO power cord,
Classe CP-60 w/ Classe reference power cord, MIT Z center w/ Z cord, Sony SCD-1 w/ cardas gold reference power cord,
Monitor Audio GR(gold reference)'20's
MIT MI-350 reference balanced 1 meter from SCD-1 to CP-60,
transparent balanced musinlink-plus 1 meter from CP-60 to CA-201, 10' transparent bi-wire musiclink-plus speaker cables.
I have acoustic treatments on (both) back 10'6" walls , also have treatment behind listening chair at ear level, treatments centered on 13' walls, floor is carpeted with 3/4" padding.
The boomyness on seems to exist during certain songs with heavy bass tracks..., have not had any boomyness when playing SACD's...
The monitor audio's have a great soundstage, good depth and image great.
The speakers are 33.5" off the back wall and 16".5" off the side walls.
OK, tha't's it. Any thoughts.....for improvement?
thank you so much for the long read!
