I've found that in a room that size that the positioning from the rear wall does make a fair bit of difference to the measured response in the bass. I mean, OBs will work, I guess I'm just supporting wilsynet's comment about moving them way from the wall.
Hi, I meant positioning of an OB I suppose it will have an effect with a box speaker, but I haven't measured it.
Hate to sound like broken record here, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put some treatments up. And none of that worthless acoustic foam either. If you wanna DIY something check around about making some nice 2' * 4' panels from rigid fiberglass or Bonded Logic acoustic cotton. It will transform the clarity of your system AND be worthwhile upgrade especially if you make some OBs.You have a sweet little room and could really get some killer results since the side walls are so close. Also hit the ceiling at the point about half way btw you and the speakers.Have fun.Greg - tech - www.phatplanetstudios.com
Thanks for the ceiling suggestion!!!Yep, it's on the agenda for this winter.
Thanks for the head's up. I listened to the V2's at LSAF last year and wasn't that impressed frankly. They sounded nice, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't see listening to anything but jazz-lite with them. Again, audio show setup issues apply. I much preferred John Busch's design using the Goldwood 18". They would play everything from the nuances of soft vocals, full orchestra, to room thumping metal (I know cuz I had him play some just to see ).Maybe I need to make a trip and re-audition the V2's, though?
Yep, it's on the agenda for this winter. I've got the plans for some solidly built 2'x4' panels using the SAFB with the frame made of firring strips, just gotta build them. I think the ceiling is probably a part of the problem with all the angles.
