[QUOTE="Schmuck, post: 330052"] After one of Rodney's threads yesterday I downloaded the frequency files and did my test last night at a constant 36 Hz. Castle states a -6dB range of 30 Hz upwards. I must say that 36 Hz "sounds" deep and well controlled on the Castles. Put a smile on my face to be honest. Then.... you play music (at the same volume), which you "think" also reaches down to these frequencies, BUT it apparently does not. :thinking: You are left wanting more and changing your seating position enhances the bass frequencies - Classic case of room gain you think?? And by changing position I mean: either sitting on the floor in front of the couch or simply sitting on the edge of the couch, leaning a bit forward. Leaning back dissipates the bass frequencies. Doing the opposite of the above during the constant 36 Hz has the opposite effect. :Ooooooh: Some of you will remember that I do have a problem with my space and the odd shape of the roof specifically. The Castles sort of addressed this problem, but after last night I feel the problem is still exists. My "sweet spot" did well with the constant frequency, but it sounds terrible when it comes to music. :sulky: [/QUOTE]
