Re: Range and integration questions


Otto, thank you so much for the gracious welcome and especially for the helpful reply. You helped me clarify my thinking significantly regarding the sub+mains issue. I think that - sometimes - I get confused about the fact that you can MEASURE whatever you want, but you can only FILTER the sub. Duh.

It seems like it might be useful to measure just the mains so that I can quantify how low/flat they play. My suspicion is that they're probably pretty flat to about 50Hz and I might consider the notion of letting them play full range and tweaking the crossover on the sub accordingly. I suppose in this case, I'd want to set a corresponding new target in REW.

Ultimately, I'm sure I'll try it multiple ways (mains large with crossover on sub defeated, mains large with crossover on sub engaged, mains small with crossover on sub defeated).

Wow, you've never tried to get useful information from a Denon manual before, have you?

I hear that. It's supposed to be fun, right? My wife doesn't understand why I would find it interesting; it would be a boring world if we were all fascinated by the same things.

Can you adjust the phase of the sub
Oh, absolutely. I really like that the SVS includes a variable phase and variable crossover. I already played with the phase and positioning quite a bit after getting REW up and running and was really amazed by the measurable differences that subtle changes can make.

Thank you again. Can't wait to get home and play with this some more.
