maybe you won't need a BFD

Yeah, and it looks that way so far. I would increase the cut on the single 60Hz filter to get it closer to the target. Then I would add the mains and be sure they didn't exacerbate the situation. You may be OK without an EQ, but if you need it, you can just add the one you have...

Your response looks quite good.

Sal -

Doesn't hurt to hear the obvious from time to time.

I'd seen the same sentiment expressed in another thread, ie, don't get hung up on a ruler flat response, rather, make adjustments, then LISTEN to it.

So right now I have the CREAM reunion concert playing that PBS broadcast in DD5.1.

One song down, so far the annoying 'muddy' bass hasn't surface, but we'll see.

And you're right, I'm learning now more for the new Pio 1018 when I get it, as well the AV123 UFW-10 sub I'm waiting on for 2.1 music listening.

Thanks for the help!

Right now I'm going to listen to Cream for an hour, then maybe tweak that 60Hz peak one last time.

I can already hear Jack Bruce's bass line is 'cleaner'.

Heluva nice program REW!

Back again - for the holidays got a new AVR, and will be changing out the Xovers in my main speakers. So, I'll re-run REW to see what new, if any tweaks are called for.

My question, as far as my sub goes, since no change there, do I need to re-test?

**brucek** · **12-26-08, 09:46 PM**

There shouldn't be any change with the sub, but the change in crossover might create a peak or dip over that area......

A new point - changed my htpc that runs REW to Win 7, wonder if anyone has experienced issues with Win 7 and REW?

Did a search, but nothing pops up, and the stickied post about REW still speaks to WIN XP as the approved OS for Micro-squishies.

I don't know of anyone that has tried REW and Windows 7, but I assume it will be fine since Windows 7 is basically Vista.

I don't know what that means?

Slang for hopeless fans of Microsoft products vs. Apple or open source.
