The speakers output is very linear. Any emphasis on a particular frequency will be caused by the room.

This is due your room. The bass output of the speaker falls off linearly. I suggest you read about room modes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_modes
Thank you. I just checked and the wavelength of 60Hz is 18 feet which is almost exactly the length of the room where I have the speakers. So that makes sense. I was wondering if the placement of the speakers relative to the rear wall was making a difference but I suppose that with wavelengths this long, it doesn't really matter. (I have them about 18" from the wall.) And from the Wikipedia article it sounds like any treatment I can put on that wall will be fairly pointless, again due to the wavelength. I suppose I will have to resign myself to the idea that my apartment will not sound like a concert hall. Thanks for the time and patience.
