>>> Out of curiosity, does the concrete effect the bass at all in the room? (pro or con)

I guess I don’t know the answer to that question. I have powered subwoofers that handle the bottom octave from 30 to 60-Hz and I get what I believe to be very realistic bass on vinyl. I get some earth shaking bass on many DVD movies. However, I have no idea how the concrete floor affects the bass.

During the past ten years I’ve lived in three different houses with these same powered subwoofers. I have never had any complaints about bass, but the best house for stereo, in general, was the first of the three. It had ordinary carpeted wood floors that moved up and down quite significantly. Bass was rather exciting because you could feel your chair vibrating. The listening room in that house had other attributes that made it the most amazing listening experience that I have ever heard. I guess it was just the right size and shape to create the most holographic three-dimensional imaging that I have ever heard. Everyone who listened to my system in that house seemed to be quite amazed. I remember one person asked me where the speakers were because the sound never seemed to come directly from them. Of course, I had the speakers well out into the room with both subs in a rear corner. The ceiling was slanted such that it reached 16-feet at the rear wall. I really miss that house.
