Hi all,
Got a question/ issue I just ran into last night. I popped in LOTR for a group showing last night, expecting some earth shattering sound from my system, but ended up with a problem I have not had yet with any other movie.
My surround and rear speakers are Def Tech BPVX/P. They all have 2 6.5' powered woofers, which have been sufficient thus far, but I started to hear some weird noise from my left surround channel. When the bass would hit, occasionally I would get a muffled, fluffy kinda sound? I have not had this happen yet.
Did my woofer just die? Is the freq going too low? Is the bass on LOTR just that much lower than everything else I own? Or am I just doing something wrong here.
I have my system calibrated with a spl and the vid ess disk, and I was playing about 10db's below my normal listning (My friends don't like bleeding ears, go figure), so I not sure what the deal is.
I went with the BPVX/P because of the powered woofers, and the low freq rating (down to 23hz). Do / should I set my rears to small, and pick up a sub or two for the rear?
Any/all help muchly appreciated.
