I am running my B&W 804's as fronts and they just sing now that I purchased the Rotel 1068 processor and 1095 amp. However, I was a bit surprised on my low end not opening up as much as in the showroom. What is crazy is when I stand up from my main listening position (~11 feet back and centered with speakers about 10 feet apart--this can't be changed) I get the bass I want and heard at the showroom. It is just plain fuller. It happens with both bypass 2 channel and my 5.1 discs without the sub on.
This did not occur when I was running my Denon receiver previously. I am assuming since I was underpowering the 804's previously that is why it didn't happen before.
Any thoughts?
Is this just an accoustic thing that can't be helped or do you fine people have any ideas on how to bring the bass sound down to my seating area?
I have yet to try putting them on blocks but pulling them back and forth from the back wall has minimum impact... when I stand it sounds great-especially if I take one step forward. However, if I walk in between the two speakers, it sounds "boomy" and "muddy".
Thanks for your help in advance,
Sam
