Thanks guys. Vince I agree with your points and its something I should explore. I worked with someone who has an extensive knowledge of acoustics and she felt that given the room dimensions the bass would be most natural this way. So far I can't really argue with her but I also have gotten such a dramatic improvement in sound from the helpful advice of other members here so I would never dismiss helpful advice. Btw- what's "GoM"?
