PB13 delivered today - but not getting the results...


Hi,

I was very happy to receive my PB13 today. It was shipped in excellent condition and the glossy black finish is superb! Excellent craftmanship !

I was really expecting the woooooooooooooooooow effect after I placed the unit in the corner of the room.
This room is quite large

lengte : 12.2 meters
width : 4.5 meters (with 1/3 of the lenght even having a width of 6meters)
height : 2,5 meters

To make things worse, there is "hole" in the ceiling towards the 1e floor with an addition 4x4x2.3meters area.(our staircase starts in the living-room)

If you start adding all together this is more then 7000 cubic feet !


- I've used default 20Hz tuning
- disabled all X-over on the PB
- set room-compensation to LARGE according to manual
- gain is about half-way the dial.

The PB13, in its current setup, surely "helps" expand the base-experience, but I do get a sense of "boominess" when I start playing louder...so I'm expecting room-issues ??

I have no SPL-meter yet, since I was hoping the Audessey in my Onkyo 875 would "fix" things.
I would then "adjust" levels by listinging certain movies/audio tracks.


Any hints from the pro's ? Is the room just to big to get the "punch" effect ?
What about my sense of "boominess" with the sub in corner ? I can test this weekend by moving the sub for about 2.4meters away from the corner...

Need your input guys!
Thanks!
