We moved to a new place and I'm struggling with speaker placement, soundstage issues and lack of bass (I hear bass elsewhere in the room just not where I sit) and I can't get it right no matter where I place the speakers or where I sit.
For speaker placement and soundstage I usually listen to Roger Waters Amused to Death. This album mimics surround from 2 speakers when/if speaker placement is good. Effects are really precise and accurate when right. In my new place I can't get it right (its mostly trapped between the speakers and they are not out of phase). And like I mentioned, bass is often lacking too unless its really obvious and prominent.
Is it possible with REW (I own a UMIK) to measure how good a soundstage is (or what is wrong with it) with a particular speaker placement? And if it can, would it also become obvious what kind of change is needed? For example, if a certain measurement is off in a particular way, it means the speakers need to be closer to each other or something?
In addition, would you say that for certain my issues will be fixed with the right acoustic panels?
Thanks for the help!
