Yeah, and the response isn't too bad when you add the mains.

I don't think the near-field worked out too good. Your room is overwhelming that situation.

Your crossover area looks a bit funky. If you only have a phase switch with two choices, then use the sub distance in the receiver as a proxy for a variable phase control. Play and get it a bit smoother if you can.

My room is rather small...only about 5-6 feet from center to love seat, sofa, table and entertainment center.

I was wondering about the area around the XO...seemed odd...my sub only has a 2 position switch for phase 0 & 180. 180 looked the best to me.

I will play around with receiver distance settings to see what it does.. My receiver has diff XO settings for main, center and surrounds...then the SUB can bet set to same as either main, center or surround, currently have all set to 80...but my mains can handle lower...might need to rethink my XO settings and see if that changes anythign with the plot

Not entirely sure a BFD/EQ would do me much good...but its rather cheap so might be fun to play with.

Thanks again for the help...Ive learned alot these past few days
