(To Josepad) So I will try and turn off bass bypass on my integrated so full signal is sent to my mains again and set "Low Pass Filter" on SVS Pro2000 at "ON". Then set SVS "Low Pass Filter" to 35 hz or so. Sound right?
SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF
After endless tweaking and experimentation, I have concluded beyond a shadow of a doubt, my system sounds profoundly better by turning OFF the SVS "low pass filter"! My amp has a sub out with a filter option set at 80 db's. Like all good audiophiles I carefully followed instructions, searched google to tweak all settings. I tried all variables in frequency. Until one fateful day, for no special reason, I turned it OFF. "WAIT", I said to myself. This sounds better. "Can't be!" "It must be boomy, or bloated, or congested .....or something bad. NO, it wasn't. It not only sounded more cohesive but the "hole" in the sound stage was gone. (I had a sense there was a perceptible hole in the musical picture which kept vaguely appearing which destroyed the whole overall enjoyment. I'm interested if anyone else has tried this heretical approach?

@allears4u Yes u can try that. Subs are all about experimenting, but for sure you only want to use one crossover, either the sub or the integrated. I never hi pass or low pass my mains, just did not like the performance. Set the crossover around 10-20 Hz above how low your mains are rated, then adjust from there. |
