Home Theater Forum - View Single Post - MAJOR bass cancellation probs.(bass traps?) HELP PLEASE

I have tried every position(except opposite corners)with the subs with the same outcome. Even w/o the subs on,my mains have very very little bass in the listening position. They are Klipsch Cornwall II's which are VERY good at producing bass. In my last room which was only 13x15 they,for the average joe,were more than adequate w/o using a sub. The room before that was 24x24 with a 25' cathedral ceiling and they also sounded excellent. Which leads me to believe it's my room acoustics.

I even played one of those dedicated rap bass cd's(read MEGABASS)with and w/o the subs and still the room exibited the same response but I go out into the kitchen and there the bass is! In other words I'm standing outside the cancellation zone(or what is now appearing to be the twilight zone!)

Anyway,I'm still working on getting some pix up( i guess I need to have 15 posts in order to do so) so please be patient. In the meantime I'll try the opposite corner placement. Thanks,Rutgar
