Thank you all for your discussions and info, I appreciate it. Been doing much reading since thing thread started and have learned a lot. Haven't made any decisions yet. My budget is $950 so my options are somewhat limited. Any specific recommendations would be helpful.
Reading about nodes/anti nodes was thinking about my room. The room is 17' X 10' that opens to a 10' X 10' room directly behind my seat. My chair is right on the line that separates the two. Next to me is a 13" X 8" pillar. The reason I bring this up, I never calculated the smaller room as part of my listening space. One of the articles that I was reading mentioned that this type of space could act in a similar fashion to bass traps, the sine waves will travel past my listening position and dissapate. Conversely it may appear that I am sitting in the middle of a large room although on that score there is nothing that I can do. Think of the room as an inverted two layer wedding cake. Does this environment change how I should approach bass. Or the size/number of subs. Again thanks.
