That is the reason why I said in my conclusion that "Getting the optimum bass response from a subwoofer is a tricky business. There are no easy solutions. Don’t be afraid to experiment".

Your last statement couldn't be more true. I be willing to bet the subwoofer that you moved into the corner and got a boomy sound from music was probably a ported subwoofer.
