Ive recently moved to a new apartment and have been toying with subwoofer placement etc.
Till recently I had subwoofer near front left speaker, but with the new apartment, the usual front left position also opens up to open open dining area and the kitchen. I suspected the subwoofer would have to run hot and annoy neighbors, and decided to move it closer to the main listening position.
After a couple of days of lifting/moving the big lump of subwoofer around the living room, I found that behind the couch seems to work really well. The room correction software (Audessey) has evened out a lot of peaks and valleys and there is enough low bass with no boomy-ness.
What have other's experiences been like with subwoofer placement? Any particular position that works well?
On a side note - Should we not have a sub forum under Audio Components for Subwoofers now?
