Corner loading basically excites all of the room modes. In my room, my subs had a 15dB peak at 52Hz and a smaller peak at 37Hz. As I moved the subs out of the corner, the peaks reduced slightly and I even played with moving the subs into the room nulls to tame the peaks. Essentially you're...

The corner is the location that excites the most room modes. If you moved it out of the corner, you'll have sub frequency ranges which will have dropped dB's. If you calibrate your subwoofer with a RS meter, you will be calibrating to your sub's peak and you will find large portions of the...

Bill: I could probably tell you how to set the BFD but to make it easier/better, you'll have to remeasure your tones. The PEQ spreadsheet has 12 divisions per octave - in other words, 12 frequencies from 20-40, 40-80 and 80-160. (The spreadsheet only goes to 100Hz). You gave me 7 divisions per...

Go for it. Definitely. After MUCH experimentation, I would recommend sub equalization to just about any sub. Think of it this way. If you calibrate your sub with pink noise, you are calibrating the SPL to the frequency with the highest peak. In your case, 50Hz is at 101dB while 63Hz is at 92dB...

I'm actually thinking of doing a shootout with these three models.... Ascend 340 l/r Axiom M80ti Phase Tech V-12 I called Phase Tech today to see if anyone in my area carried them since there is no listing on their web site. I'm in Lexington, KY - anyone in this area (Lexington...

I'm trying to decide if I'll see a noticeable benefit by upgrading my speakers. I do about 70%HT and 30%Music. The reason I have started to look into upgrading is twofold. First, the highs and soundstage on my current speakers don't seem "enveloping" enough during movies. Second, the Polk...
