Hey all,
Need to pick your brains..
I’ve recently built an extension that has given me a new lounge area.
Room description:
Rectangular in shape, about 4m x 7m.
Level, flat, painted ceiling.
2x recessed skylights 1m x 1m each.
Concrete base, screed, hard flooring also with underfloor heating.
Adjoining room through archway, also hard flooring.
Current cinema setup:
65” LG oled.
Sony 4K BluRay player.
Pioneer SC-LX901 amp.
6x Cambridge Audio floor standers.
Cambridge Audio centre.
4x Cambridge Audio atmos ceiling speakers.
4x Cambridge Audio Minx300 subs.
I used to have all this setup in my old lounge which was about 4m x 5m and carpeted.
Bass was crazy awesome. Serious low-down, bass.
I moved the equipment into the new room recently and watched a film for the first time.
All speakers firing on all cylinders and sound great.
But, I noticed that I have lost a lot of low frequency bass for some reason.
I thought that if anything, bass would be a lot more boomy because of the hard floors.. but it seems to have gone the other way.
It seems like the hard floor is swallowing up the bass!
The subs are definitely on and working hard. Settings are the same as I had them previously.
I’ve noticed the new room is a lot more echoey so I will need to add a fair bit of soft furnishings.
But why am I losing so much bass?
Any ideas?
