That may not be practical is some living rooms, but sonically its the best spot. Fourtuantely I can put mine very near one of the quarter points. I moved my sub there last night, and measured. I lost a few dB comapred to corner placement, but I got the most even FR (pre EQed) of any position I've tried. It really works.

Great stuff. Definitely going to give it a try. I can certainly use a front corner for this placement on a permanent basis for a single sub. Even elevating the sub to 1/4 height might be do-able, at least with one of my little sealed 12" workhorses.

Why does this matter? Can't I just EQ for any position? Well, I recently tried corner loading and then EQing out the ensuing resonances. Even though I gained a few dB abnd the EQed output measured flat, the sub still sounded boomy. I don't really know why. My guess is that the decay times come in to play since the room continues to ring after the sub stops.

Yeah, I think you hit it. Eq-ing out some peaks isn't the same as not exciting the modal ringing in the first place.
What do you think this you linked to above...make sense?
