Thanks for the tip, was a bit worried about that.

Will try that, it's a bit of a PITA with my speakers, they're 80kg each.

Great sounding dac, it started my Schiit Dac journey. I have moved up the Schiit ladder from this. This Dac saw off a MF M1 Dac, Rega Dac & Klein Dac. Great sound! Pictures:

A bit of an update everyone, I have combined a bit of the advice from a few of you and have got positive results! Firstly, I have moved the left speaker to the right so my speakers are not set up symmetrical to the room. The second thing I have done is increase toe in to get the cross point straight out from the tweeters to cross in front of me. The last thing is I have got the speaker to point down quite substantially by using an extremely thick spike shoe on the back with Bunnings anti vibration squares under that and really thin spike shoes on the front. There is now an acceptable amount of bass at my listening position, but there is still more bass when I stand up haha. Not sure if the treble is more emphasised with the toe in or I have lost a bit of midrange but the sound is also a bit harsher or less warm. Will keep tweaking and see how it goes!

Thanks for the nice compliment @AudioGeek I do not think I am ready for active speakers just yet, I am loving my tube pre and power amp setup ATM. I did hear the Kii3s at the HiFi Show and did not like their sound, I prefer a warmer sound, like the Meridian actives at the show.

Thanks @Snoopy8 and @Red Spade Audio, I was hoping to avoid DSPs and EQs and Subs if possible. I guess I wanted to know if room treatment will help my issue but I guess it will not really help. @WasM, you are the second person to suggest I try aiming the speakers down, I will try this but need to maybe change the front spike shoes as I don't have much to play with on the front spikes after leveling the speakers. Also don't think I can raise it by 300mm, seems like quite a height increase! I did try some extreme toe in suggested by someone and it did help the bass but I also got a splashiness with the top end on some songs that was not there before. Can't win haha.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I will make my way through all of them. I was trying to avoid getting a sub, just sold mine actually haha. It might be the easiest option for me right now though.

Hi peeps, I have recently changed speakers and after a few months of moving them around to try and get the best placement I have discovered something quite frustrating. The bass gets cut off ONLY at my listening position. The moment I stand up from the couch, the bass is all there, sit back down and the bass is gone. I have tried moving the speakers right back against the wall, I have tried moving the speakers reeeeally forward, and it does not help. I know my setup is not ideal but I don't really have to much chance of rearranging the room, peace with SWMBO is much better than bass. I'm thinking I need some sort of room treatment? I have never done any of this before and would appreciate some suggestions as I do not know my bass traps from my reflectors. Some pics of my listening area below.

Hi @muzika, please see PM.

Thanks for the recommendation @Ittaku!

There have been quite a few people asking for the cost of sending the amp out of Melbourne. I do not have a box for it and it is quite a heavy amp. That being said I am happy to drop it off at a pack and send or similar if the buyer wants to organise and pay for that. Dimensions: 17.25" (431.25mm) W by 7.25" (181.25mm) H by 19" (475mm) D. Shipping weight: 60 lbs (27kg).
