Standing Waves are bass frequencies reflected back from walls and ceiling. The reflected bass interferes with the new incoming bass frequencies, causing cancellations at different points throughout the room. Each bass note will behave differently and the cancelled points will be in different positions. Moving speakers or listening position does not solve the problem. The only solution is to insure that the room is 100% absorbent at all bass frequencies.
Unfortunately with sound... when we learn 1 fix, there's always another level of problems associated with it. Speaker and listening position can be tweaked but it's important to remember or to highlight, that it too has it's own set of problems. It's not the magic solution that fixes all. Even Lenard and his 100% absorbent has it's issues. To some this would only result in BAD mixes that translate into no environment. No one will listen to the mix in such away. This is why the reference in as many situations is always KING.
