Can't say I was aware of these guys before reading your post but after a quick look Google, they do sound impressive. Unfortunately the TDAI-1120 doesn't have a USB input so that rules out using it with my Zenith.

Think I may have to admit defeat guys :( Moved speakers (and sofa) forwards, backwards and further apart. No matter what I tried the bass boom was still present. I'm not in a position to install bass traps due to the size of the room. And let's face it, big boxes on the walls/in the corners...

If I'd have known the room was going to be this much of a pain I'd bought a different house! (I'm kidding.....just!) Ok I'll have a play around and report back. From what I recall, the stands are half filled as per their instructions. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated 👍🏻

Ok your definitely onto something. Moved the sofa forward like you said and eventually the boom all bit disappeared! Unfortunately though the sofa was practically in the middle of the living room! Not ideal :(

Had a feeling it was the recessed section that was the culprit. I did try and solve the issue with x3 GIK acoustic panels which stopped the slap echo I heard from sitting on the sofa but not the bass boom. I'm using... x1 60x120 cm, 50mm impression series panel directly behind the sofa x2...

And here's a picture of the living room for reference!

Can we swap living rooms then!? ha! Yours sounds more agreeable than mine! Living room is rectangle shaped. Less than 20m2. Speakers are firing across the long wall, as apposed to down it (yes I know that's not ideal but can't be helped). Property is a new build so walls are made of cheesecake...

As per my previous posts, yes I have used the KEF's DSP. They are set to less than 10cm to the wall and bass extension set to 'Less'.

I have tried the KEF's DSP settings but I'm still getting issues. It may just be that I have a defective room. I also tried using the outer part of the foam bung but couldn't live with it, sounded too unnatural for me. However I will give the ATC's a try just to eliminate the possibility it's...

Afraid not. Mine are set to -6db and bass extension set to 'less' but I'm still getting issues.

You're right you can use the KEF's app to set how closely they are to the wall. It's a -6db to +6db swing. You can also adjust the bass extension, depending on how small/large your room is.

Mine are around 2m from the side walls. Spoke with a dealer today who said he'd sort out a home demo for me so we'll see how that goes. Quite intrigued to see how a more 'traditional' setup compares with a one box KEF system.

I have got some GIK panels behind the sofa which improved slap and flutter echo significantly. Unfortunately there's only so much you can have on the walls before the 'WAF' comes into play! I think I'll try putting some of the panels behind the speakers on Sunday and see how that goes. Oddly...

As the speakers will be placed up against the long wall of my living room (around 6x3.5m) the 11's may be too big for the room. How do you have yours setup?

Hi, thanks for replying. My room is around 6x3.5 but the speakers are placed along the long wall so not ideal to start with. Good to know the ATCs aren't fussy about placement as they will be placed as close to the wall as possible.
