I'd be surprised if the Vizio had passive radiators only because they are typically more expensive to produce but I could be wrong, I'm not very familiar with the brand. The only thing I can think would be to put some type of damping material behind the soundbar...like a dark rolled up soft blanket or pillows or something to absorb sound that is bouncing around in the cabinet. Sometimes putting a speaker in a place like that is going to give you that tunnel sound. How much space is around the edges of the speaker and behind it?
Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog.
We have a large credenza in our bedroom that houses the TV, video gear and sound bar (a modest Visio) facing the bed. It's become our favorite movie theater. Think a 4'x3'x8' box with doors on front. The "booming" caused by the interior reverb of the credenza box makes any dialog unintelligible. Tried moving it out a bit when open (a pain) as well as adjusting out lower freq.s and boosting treble. No luck.
Any suggestions on something more creative would be much appreciated!
ALERT! Wife is an interior designer so anything that does not fit inside box is not acceptable.
