Low frequencies more punch near the wall?

[jingoboy_78]

If I have my couch just a few inches near the opposite wall of the TV,can the low frequencies be well heard with more punch?, rather than having the couch in the center of the room?please clarify? Whenever i go and stand near the wall i can hear the bass very well.but When I sit and watch the movie in the couch which is now in the center of the room i dont feel the bass that much..So having a wall just behind the couch.. does it affect the bass in any way??

Right now I cant place my couch near the wall because of the room plan and the furniture placement..
