the house falls down ...
I am in a state where we are overdue for many houses to fall down... I hope not. Hopefully I didn't offend you there. I think you mean that the chorus II close to the wall produced an excessive amount of bass perhaps? I owner them and can say in my case, I agree with one of the above posts that expimentation from the side and back walls was needed for the right quality and quantity of bass in my room. The rear passive radiators are a little trucker to place, but once you get them right, you will know. I moved them 6 inches at a time from back wall and them from side wall comparing the same material each time until I was thoroughly satisfied on multiple genres with different types of basslines. If I remember right, I ended up with a slight toe in, but far from tweeters pointed directly at my head. Hope that helps. In my room, the pair liked to be fed some power and turned up a little to equalize in sound tip to bottom. Great speakers though IMO for their cost used.
