However, my DefTech Promonitor 1000 5.0 set actually worked well with Audessey engaged.
And there was already lots of bass with good quality, they only had the nasty habit of jumping around if you put no weights on them and if playing LOUD ;-)
I really hope I can let the sub remain in the corner. I know that "corner-loading" gives some extra, but can it actually influence the sound in such large room in a negative way ? THAT would be depending on the actual room-modes no ? and those are depending on sizes/ratios of the room
QUESTION : At what level (gain) do you - PB13 owners - have their box set ? Is 4 or 5 out of 8 overkill ?

The calibration level of the subwoofer is a function of the subwoofer channel level setting in the AVR and the gain setting on the SVS. Either setting when viewed in isolation is meaningless. We recommend setting the AVR sub channel level to around -5 (to keep the pre-out signal clean), and then adjusting the gain on the SVS until your desired calibration level is achieved. Don't worry about where the gain ends up - just worry about the calibration level.
Now if you are running an auto cal routine, the set-up is reversed. Set the gain to about 1/2 and then let the AVR run the set-up. Check the subwoofer channel level to make sure it ends up somewhere in the negative range (around -5 on a typical scale of -10 to +10). If it's too high or too low, then adjust the gain accordingly on the SVS and re-run the auto cal routine.
