Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Subwoofer placement suggestion given restrictions (kenster)

Good questions.

Kester in a 2008 posting in response to a question I had talked about his preference to having a subwoofer firing directly up as opposed to straight forward or downward (I hope I'm stating this correctly). His advise about the benefit of getting the sub off the floor was spot on. Definitely tightened up the bass. But for me to do upward firing of the sub given that is not designed for that orientation requires building a frame to hold it so that I can make the electrical connections. So positioning the sub at an upward angle would be the easiest thing to do - but is there any benefit from that? To answer your other questions, I think I have too much of the bass sound from the left, not bad, but not correct. And still more of a flabby sound than I prefer or think is correct from an instrumentalist point of view. Cross over points between the monitors and sub I think are OK. So to improve the performance, is the solution: a) tweaking the location of sub b) Modifying the design of the speakers (see other posting) c) I'm at max performance of these speakers. If I want better sound simply buy better speakers. Option-A costs no money. Option-B maybe $200. Option-C $2K+.
