 Something is definitely wrong with your IB. Mine will chase you out of the house playing Metallica, Judas Priest etc... I assume you must have a huge null. Are you sure she isn't just used to bloated bass? I'm ubmmed that you can't get the IB to behave to her liking.  |
Hi Darren
When I put the 16-46 in the same place as the IB the bass was totally overkill with almost zero gain on the Bash. So I have always had the SVS about 7 or 8 feet from that corner. Where it is still very powerful (~108dB RS uncorrected) on the deep stuff and climbs naturally all the way to 15hz without any eq before falling away rapidly.
I can get loud bass from the IB without the BFD but when I add any boost @ 20 Hz to try and drag the sub 30Hz response up I lose lots of bass output on programme material. The bass detail is tremendous but I just can't shake the floor like the SVS does so easily on films.
The IB will go very loud indeed using REW with "frequency follows cursor" but not on films unless I turn the master volume well up. I can't run the IB hot because it is already at max on the EP2500 and +6dB on the CX2310.
I ought to do a sweep with the SVS right in front of the IB using the Galaxy SPL meter to check the response.
Then do a sweep of the IB with the BFD bypassed for comparison.
