Subwoofer Advice

@docknow thanks for the insight, I'll check it out, for sure.

@navyachts The ML Balanced Force speakers are great, but they are even larger and more expensive. I think the KEFs will do the job, fit in better and cost about 1/2 as much. Warning, one sub is never a good solution. You are better off without any.

If you do a lot of listening from one listening position just keep the microphone at the listening position for all measurements. If you tend to listen more as background music then use the 5 locations as per instructions. Now, you have level controls for bass and midbass. Run the program then turn the midbass down just a little and the bass up as far as it will go. Then start decreasing the bass a little at a time until things sound right to you. I am not sure if this will work, but give it a try. It costs you nothing. A thing to remember is a balanced sound at lower levels with have too much bass and treble when you turn it up. I recommend balancing the system at the loudest levels you listen. When you turn it down the bass and treble will seem a little low unless you have a loudness control. 

@mijostyn Thanks so much Mike! I will try this when I have some time this coming Saturday. I’ll post back here with the results.

In the meantime, I will start saving up for an additional pair of subs, lol.

@navyachts I've been saving for HiFi gear all my life.

the wireless option sounds great, do you think is a good way to go, is wireless going to be accurate match with the rest of the system? Hardwired, at least for most audio products, seem to be the preferred set-up.

In the past I had 2 or 3 of my subs connected by wireless. Ichandelier to hard wired, mostly because the transmitters I had at the time were a little fussy. I didn't notice any difference in sound quality. You don't have to connect them wireless, my thought was that might give you more placement options.  

The SVS subs I own don't have the app control feature, but I think it would be really helpful for set up.
