Terrible Booms

Hi everyone, I'm sad because I really tried everything (marble base, Gaia isoacoustic, anti-seismic bases, etc.)) but my speakers (ProAc D40R) in my environment (suspended parquet - with voids below) creates terrible booms . I managed to get a good compromise (tube traps and panels) but it's not as I would like. Maybe I should take small speakers, or in a closed box. The fact is that I like my speakers and I don't feel like changing them.

Why are you looking at another ported speaker? Like I said before, in that size room you should get a nice LS3/5A type speaker. I use the Harbeth P3ESR in the same size room. I have no doubt that they will sound fine in your room!

IMO, that size room is too small for those Proacs. You would be better off with a smaller monitor type speaker!

What size is your listening room? What source component are you using? You will not find many sealed speakers. You might be better off with a good LS3/5A type of speaker. BTW, my friend has those Proacs with a JL Audio subwoofer in a large room and there is no booming problem!!

The bass is fine . If you like the Proac sound I think the small Harbeths will give you many years of pleasure. 
IN BOCCA AL LUPO!
