Description

This has been a hobby for about 20 years.

I have recently moved and this is how my new hobby room looks.

Im having imageing problems with this room.The image is a bit flat. The room also sucks up alot of bass energy. Before I did not need to use the XS Sub for 2 channel music. Now I need to use the sub for music as well as movies.

As you can see the right speaker is too close to the XS subwoofer.(Room constraints make this the only location for the sub.. Room is 5.5 meters wide, 2.7 meters high and 6.5 meters long)

Any Ideas for better imageing and bass?

Go to the Realtraps website. Basically you need to put traps in the corners and 1st reflection points. Then you can increase the amount of traps from there. Beside the look (not so great) the Realtraps did wonders in my system as of recent. I am ordering more. They might not look great, but. the finish & construction is 1st rate and is rated for fire etc. Wall to wall corners and ceiling to wall corners etc. The traping absorbs bass, but really it improves the impact of the bass by removing the "muddiness". Wilsons for me are setup based on freeing up the bass from the room. Adding an additional subwoofer will help tremendously.

The flat image is due to the speakers being too far back in all probability. The weak bass is a function of probably "poor" bass. This is due to room dimensions & room nodes. You need to treat the room for bass only. This should make a huge improvement. I know in my room bass trapping improved the bass beyond my wildest expections.
