I also just placed an order with Duke.

@noble100 - Thanks for being a staunch advocate for the DBA concept!
I learned quite a bit from your postings!

@millercarbon - Thanks also to you for your timely explanations!

Thanks to everyone else who responded to my initial thread: " Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution
"

Looking forward to crawling around the room setting up the system!

Hello hleeid,

     Congratulations to you, too!  I'm serious, prepare to be amazed. 
 
     I swear I'm not an AK salesman, just a huge fan of the concept and Swarm and Debra systems.  As I stated, I prefer and used the crawl method to position my four subs sequentially in relation to my listening position with excellent results; the bass performance resulted in being near state of the art bass throughout my entire 23' x14' room including all five other listening seats in the room.
     I used no room correction or bass room treatments but you're, of course, free to use them or other equipment to position the subs or just to verify the results of the crawl method.

Enjoy,
  Tim
Thanks Tim!

After speaking with Duke, looks like the crawling will be limited to perhaps just one sub. The other three subs will be positioned up facing the ceiling.

Is there a "crawl" or other method for adjusting the subs up near the ceiling?

I also spoke with Duke about positioning 2 subs directly beneath my main speakers and 2 subs up near the ceiling.

The subs near the ceiling would be more difficult to experiment with placement (unless I install temporary long shelves high up on two walls).

@Any Swarm/DEBRA owners out there - Have any of you placed subs up near the ceiling?


Thanks,
Hans
Congratulations to Duke for well-deserved praise!

IMO the Swarm is one of the best sub systems out there


Hello Hans,

     I remember we previously discussed the Swarm system in another post.
    What's the reason for wanting the subs positioned up near the ceiling?  Are you unable to locate the 4 subs on the floor facing the nearest wall around the perimeter walls of your room?   


Thanks,
  Tim
