I have recently moved into an old house and our lounge (5mx4m) has a concrete floor overlaid with 15mm MDF boards and covered with underlay and carpet.
I have set up my HiFi in same manner as at my previous house except the floor was made up with floorboards and carpet etc.
In the previous set up i found the sound to be superb but in the new house i cannot find a set up that gets anywhere close to the results i once enjoyed - so much so that i'm thinking about ditching the speakers in favour of a quality set of headphones.
I have experimented with all manner of speaker positions but cannot replicate the sound and am thinking that the floor and/or room is restricting the sound. The wall facing the speakers some 4m away is a partition wall whereas the rest are brick/stone. The speakers are fitted with spikes and they are making contact with the wood beneath the carpet.
Does anyone have any advice as to how i can liven up my speakers once again, without having to move home!
Thanks,
Peter
