RE: Audio Note J's Boomy Bass - What to do?

The J sounds very much like the E's - they use the same woofers and tweeters. The J's have a little less bass and a little less organic.

I moved from the K to the J and getting the bass right takes some work. Several weeks. I would suggest putting them as hard into the corner as they can possibly go - the stands you're using are at the correct height right? They need to be lower than your average standmount.

Hard in corners with significant toe in such that the tweeters are firing about 3 feet in front of your head. Placing them closer to the wall is counterintiuitive to reducing bass problems but that worked in my room.

The K's sealed box makes it easier to position and it's lighter weight bass and fast rolloff has a different character - you may simply like it better - it's certainly easier to get right in a room than the J. Still get the J right IMO and there is no going back. The superior treble and bigger more organic sound is tough to beat.
