Okay,
Quick reply as I'm still experimenting with speaker position.
Speakers now 48 inches away from a solid brick back wall - I measured this to the back of the speaker.
Back wall now damped with large rug hung on the wall.
Speakers 6ft apart measured tweeter to tweeter and toed in using the Merlin wooden tool.
Listening sofa moved back so that I am 12 ft away from the speakers and approx 3 ft free space behind the sofa/my head.
Shipped in two pot plants to sit either side of the sofa.
RESULT = much better bass, deeper and more controlled. I think I'm almost there!
Will post more as I experiment.
Thanks for the replies,
MontyW
