I've been sitting on the floor alot lately, playing with the baby. There is MUCH more bass present at that lower level. Maybe moving the speakers up just changes which drivers you predominately hear?

Also try standing on a chair so your ears are at or near the ceiling. Lotsa bass up there, too. I think bass, in general, has an affinity to flat surfaces.

Yeah, Mark, Peter's right. The standing waves which exist at various bass frequencies in a room according to length, width and height are at a maximum near the floor, ceiling and each wall. You might want to pass listening near the ceiling, but a similar effect exists when the couch is just a foot or so from the back wall, compared to a few feet further forward.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Eek! my poor little rug rat has been getting over-emphasized bass while he's crawling around on the floor? Does that mean he's going to grow up liking Rockets? or worse, Bose?
Actually, I sold my Bose Acousti-ass stuff at a garage sale for $50. You should have seen how excited the guy was at his find.
Of course, I had the receipt to show him that I paid $299 four years ago.

Pete - since reading your post, I've been wondering how many Axiomites you got up on chairs to put their ears on the ceiling last night. Then I began to imagine the spouse response to that spectacle. It was pretty much a self-contained hoot and I smiled at odd times today.

Misdirection is the best way to do it. Grab a paper towel first, then stand on the chair and pretent to capture a spider.
