Sweat spot? Sp. placementt again


I get better sound standing up, rather than sitting, at the listening position. Anyone encountered this? Pls read on before you bash...
The listening position is two feet from the listener's back wall which is damped with wall carpeting.
We pooled resources with my partner (she's from down under: they hear things diffferently there, so she says) reaching an optimum positioning for our Gen Vs, following hints from Redkiwi's ("speaker placement") posts -- thanks everyone!
The room has an asymetrical listener's back wall, with a round fireplace on one corner and a 7ft opening at the other -- 12ft wall in between. The ceiling is 8ft high, room length ~25ft.

We tried listening closer to the speakers -- but, no cigar. Tried a higher chair too! -- ditto.

Any ideas?? Thanks.

It sounds like A nightmare to me.This could be you are sitting to close to the speakers.Many speakers have a "focal point" that requires a large room,and a decent distance from the speakers;not to mention a taller celing Have you tried dampening the first reflection point on the celing? Do you get more bass response when you bend down?(lower listening hight) A knowledgeable dealer for this brand,or a manufactuer might help. Some speakers just need lots of room to breathe. BTW,all posts are subject to bashing;thats how the game is played here.(especially with a voting system)Its a contact sport wear proper protective gear.That includes responses as well.
