What you've heard is true. When placing a sub near a hard surface, the reflections give constructive interference on the magnitude of about +3dB. In a corner (3 hard surfaces: floor, wall, wall) you will gain +9dB (i.e. almost twice as much bass with no additional power consumption)

Yeah thats what I thought, I was in a pub a while back & they had it hanging on the wall. I suppouse that goes for home cinema setups too? A friend of mine has the whole surround dealy going with a bass thingy too but Its next to the TV & the volume controls for the whole thing are on the bass whotsit. If it was in a corner It'd be a bit of a pain to turn the volume up or down wouldnt it?

You're right. That's crazy. Seriously, though, it's not worth it. I assume that your looking for some sort of amplitude vs frequency visualization like you see on computers, or some waveform plot. Some oscilloscopes can do these, but you don't want to spend that kind of money. I've used some $5000 oscilloscopes and they still have tiny little green screens that you have to put your nose against to read... well, not quite, but you get the idea.

The idea was to get a visual representation of the beats, telling me if one record was lagging/racing. I really dont know how it would work or if it would help at all, I dont really need help mixing department.

You're going to need some sort of reciever with a lot of extra inputs. Or you could do what I want and just buy a mixer. I know a few people who use a little Mackie mixer for all their audio routing, and it would work quite well. I recently came across the SoundCraft E Series which has 10 stereo inputs, but again this may not be what you're planning to do. As for speakers, you can find some small ones that have a great full range sound, but you'll have to pay for them. In this line of equipment, you really do get what you pay for. If I had a lot of money, I'd buy some Tannoy reference moniters and I've heard good things about the Mackie HR24's. Both are expensive and can be found on eBay.

Im not looking for a pro studio moneywise its not an option, I have contacts that can get me oscilloscopes If i want them & I have a rake old mixers that I figure could be daisychained, so inputs arent really a problem.
Thanks a million for your help.
