| Re: Basstraps not effective?
Played some more with my setup. Moved the sub around and found a good spot around midway on the side wall, that's about level with my listening position. EQ'd it, integrated it (pretty easy, it was pretty much flat FR, as were the fronts), and sat down and had a good listen.
It sound like .
Well, not as bad, but before I have had a sound that just keep you coming back for more. I often spend far more time than I really have on music. Last night I just didn't feel like it. The subwoofer is easy to locate, being out on the side. I tried lowering cutoff to 60Hz. That helped a little. Then I activated the sub's internal crossover on top of the pre/pro crossover and realigned phase and distance. Again, better, but I don't know how much distortion I introduced with the dual crossovers. Probably a lot. My system measure within +-5dB pretty much across the board, but it just sounds a little nagging. Maybe I need a house curve. I'm afraid more subwoofer level will just bring out the localization issues even more, though.. I need to experiment more, I think...
