I recently assembled a system in my family room consisting of a Denon turntable, Stax preamp, Denon power amp and some ADS 910s. It sounded really nice, I thought, so I figured I would move it into a room I use as a theater since it was cluttering up the family room. The same system in my theater room sounds pretty bad.
Here are the stats: the theater is 13x23 with a ceiling just under 8'. It has sheetrock on three walls, wood on the other, and it's carpeted with carpet tiles (pretty thin). There is pseudo acoustic tile on the ceiling.
To try to fix the situation I have experimented hanging heavy comforters at the first reflection points on the side walls. This fixed much of imaging and clarity of the mids and highs, still not as good as the other room, but better.
The biggest problem remains, though, and that's a lack of bass. The 910s aren't known to struggle in this department and I haven't had this issue in other rooms, but maybe this one is just too long??
I'm trying to imagine a treatment that would punch up the bass, but I'm not sure what to try. This system has no tone controls, and I'd like to keep it that way if I can, particularly since it sounded so good in the other room.
Any suggestions?
