Bass that booms in one spot and vanishes in another? You’re hearing room modes in action. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we dig into the invisible battlefield of standing waves, boundary effects, and the fight for consistent low-frequency performance. These powerful acoustic forces can shape or sabotage your system’s foundation. Learn how to identify problem areas, why subwoofers are part of the solution, and what it takes to win the bass battle in your own room.
