Thanks Wayne, perhaps we should try the 14dB attenuation sometime? Anyways, we brought them into the backyard yesterday to do some SERIOUS listening (like 3hrs). Anyways, they sound SO MUCH BETTER outside than they did in my living room! The bass was MUCH better, and that peak dissapeared. They were 5inches away from the side of my house though. I would say that outside, a subwoofer wouldnt even be needed in my opinion. I think the problem we had with them in the house was that they were not up against the wall or in a corner. We moved them to Mitches house yesterday and we are going to set them up in his room tonight. This time I will make SURE they are up against the wall.
