| Filtering, Audyssey and what have you
I got my first filter applied and the resulting measurement isn't too bad (first attachment). But then I connect the mains and whoops!, a nasty dip at 82Hz (second attachment). I should mention that, at this point, Audyssey is turned off and tone controls are disabled. I have manually set all my speakers to small and the x-over at 80Hz. Since my dip is at 82, I tried various x-over points on either side of 80Hz and settled on 100Hz (for now). The final graph is Audyssey flat, 100Hz x-over and all speaks set to small.
Now, this Audyssey curve was derived from before I EQ'd my sub. I obviously need to re-do my Audyssey and I will (hopefully, it'll fix that nasty dip at 151Hz), but before I do, I want to run something by you all. In the past, Audyssey tended to knock my sub levels down. I'm hopeing this had to do with the peaks from the room resonances and will be less of an issue now. But I'm wondering if I should "game" Audyssey a bit? That is, apply a filter without the house curve, run Audyssey and then apply the filter with the house curve. My thought is that Audyssey will see the level of the sub without the house curve, set it's levels and then I come back with a bump in the bass.
Thoughts?
Thank you,
Michael
