Thanks Wayne.

Turns out what I'm trying to figure out doesn't have anything to do with SBIR.

I recently re-read your FAQ on wavefront launch and moved the speakers closer to the wall. Discovered they had less bass when their backs were up against the wall then when toed in to cross in front of the sweet spot. Kind of the exact opposite of what was expected.

Thought it might have something to do with SBIR but it turns out it was just the coffee tables. When the speakers are flat against the wall they are pointed on either side of the coffee tables. But toed in they point right at the tables (which are solid wood) and somehow they are re-enforcing bass. Move the tables away and the bass goes down. Cool effect.

In any event, the extra bass is nice. So now we have, officially, audiophile coffee tables.
