In Reply to: Small square room/Lots-a-bass posted by Iggy on June 26, 2000 at 07:46:51:
Once upon a time, I had large-volume floorstanders with 8" woofers in a 10x10x8 room that opens to the floor on one side (left of the listening/viewing area) and has a window-sized opening to the rear. I didn't get such great bass in the sweet spot but when I sat on the couch in the adjacent room the bass nodes lined up and it was loud and deep, almost too much so.Fast-forward to about 2 months ago. With a child on the way, I decided to ditch the large 40-pound speakers -- which needed 12" stands to get the tweeter to ear level and could be easily pulled over by a toddler -- and upgrade to a Paradigm Atom/PDR-10 sat/sub arrangement. And voila! Much better, deeper, tighter bass at the listening area (I assume because it's emanating from 1 source, not 2) and no loud nodes in other parts of the house.
So if you're upgrading and want deep bass for music as well as LFE for movies, a sub/sat arrangement may be worth considering for such a small room.
