JBL Lancer 77 Placement

[mocla09]

Got my Lancer 77's re foamed and I recapped them, and they are sounding great. However, I notice that the bass seems to drop out when I sit down in the listening position, as in there is more bass when I am standing in the exact same spot and when I sit, it drops. I have tried flipping the speakers so the passive radiator is on top with no benefit, and unfortunately I am pretty limited as far as placement in my living room.

Anyone run into this before or have any tricks to share?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'll wager that you'll get about the same phenomenon, with any speaker remotely similar to the L77, in that location.

That sounds like a room mode- cancellation due to sound path length differences, from reflections.

Regards,
Gordon.

How close to the floor are they?

They are sitting directly on the floor.

Try getting them up off of the floor. Mine are at ear level when seated and they sound great.
