Frank, like you I can't afford the Lex MC-12 w/EQ so I want to explore an HTPC with appropriate sound card and software for experimentation purposes. Doing everything (xovers and EQ) in the digital domain as well as storing my music in a lossless format. If I can get a firewire or USB...

That sounds quite interesting!! Have you talked about this before in any detail? I'd be interested in learning a bit more about it's design. My current interest is learning about doing all of this while the signal is still in the digital domain, as well as parametric EQ for room modal bass...

To help identify and correct some of the time-based problems Dave mentions, I find the ETF software with it's 3D waterfall frequency chart, impulse response, and Energy Time curves to be quite useful. Even if I'm only using a single sub for both re-directed and LFE bass, at least I'm...

Kevin, I think it depends on whether or not you want to use the sub for music as well as HT. For me it's about 90/10 music/HT. I find it best to keep the sub within 3-6 feet of a main speaker for best integration when playing music. If HT is the only objective, then a sub next to the...

My experience echoes Kevin's and Richard's, in that multiple subs (in different locations) makes the frequency response worse more often than it improves it. Plus it becomes a real nightmare to correctly balance 2+ subs in different locations vis-a-vis SPL, phase and room modal peaks.
