Nice gear ... I would love to listen!
Does your streamer permit setting EQ for the five percent of songs that sound fat?
95% is pretty good ...
Does You Subwoofer Settings ??
Do most find that subwoofer settings are not perfect for every song you play ??
Last year went to a SVS SB16 Sub and 95 percent of songs it sounds beautiful.
But other songs has boomy sound and I have tinnitus and guess at times think it may be my hearing ...
But at times would like to get a professional in that understands all the adjustments the SVS has that I do not understand..
Do others have this issue or is it that Subs can not be adjusted for every song that is played and the way it was recorded causes this at times ???
Tried to correct title Your Subwoofer Settings !!!

The SVS can be adjusted while sitting and my Tidal streaming has no adjustment at computer..I have been just deleting songs that have to much boom for their is so much music to listen to ...and always looking for something new ... One of the songs that had boom was Peter White Swept Away album version.. And I am very blessed to have the equipment I have and still be able to hear detail in songs I never heard from solid state amp I have had.. I guess with tinnitus my hearing is so sensitive that probably more reason that it bothers me...Few song I use for testing are Kool & the gang Summer Madness and this at points really hurts my hearing and the other song I use for Bass is Marian Hill called Down...Fourplay and Chant and Fleetwood Mac Warm Ways.. |
You can optimize sub setup till your blue in face, bass in recordings will always remain variable. Just last night listening to some highly produced 70's soul, bass guitars and drums just some kind of dull thudding noise. I listen to all eras and genres of music, vast, vast majority of recordings, bass not noticeably bothersome. I agree two subs much more forgiving vs. a single. |
For that very reason I moved on from subs in my music 2-channel set up and only use them in a separate AV 5.2 system for video and occasional music listening. The lower end of my music system Dynaudio Contour 20s is beyond adequate for music low notes. I adjusted the EQ of my McIntosh MA352 to reflect my hearing test profile. Then I adjusted the EQ to preference after trying several different music genres. As @dwest1023 said, so much is in the recording. Now I find that if strong bass lines are in the recording, the Dynaudios will reveal them very nicely. No more booming tracks on some recordings. |
