Thanks again David! That certainly will get me started.
Okay, little update... I actually listened to the system yesterday. I didn't have a belt for my LP12 (left it at the other house - like having a Ferrari and no key!), but I did have an Oppo SACD player and a couple SACD discs I'm very familiar with.
I set the system up with the equipment behind the speakers. I'll take a picture this evening, but they are open racks that certainly provide some diffusion. There are five low racks that run pretty much the entire distance of the back wall. The old Sound Organisation two-shelf units. No damping or sound absorbtion of any kind. Not even a carpet. Big-assed Acoustat Model 3s about 3' from the front wall, 14" from the side walls.
I have to say I'm impressed! Be bass was way better than I thought it'd be. It booms a bit, but it's very low, around 30 Hz. Sounds a bit unnatural but I think it's better than having to listen to a 100+ hz bloom. Not sure how I'll correct it, but I think putting some damping between the speakers and floor will be a start.
I'll move my 9x12 area rug in there next. I'm sure it'll help things a bit.
