Hi all, I've just bought a new hifi after many years only having an AV system.
i bought Bryston Bp 25 pre, Bryston 9b power amp and Kef reference model 2 speakers.
i wired it all up and was a bit disappointed with the sound, it lacked mid bass, and bass. Tried lots of different CD players and cables and then realized it was the room!
i put some test tones on and a 100htz test tone when sat down reads 70db on my spl meter stand up and it reads 90db hold the meter to floor and it reads 90db very extreme ! The same with lots of frequencies non existence in my seated position . I don't want to move my seated position but it seems at the top of room you get bass, floor level you get bass but not at head height.
its a dedicated listening room so I can play around a bit but where do I start ? I've seen acoustic panels but how do I know what size I need or where to put them ? Any good room eq sites ? Do I need bass traps ? Ceiling panels ? Do I need to deaden the room, etc etc any ideas thanks
