Multiple subwoofers work wonders


Performed measurements today showing the significant benefits of a mulit-sub system on both extending and smoothing the in-room frequency response and the impact on room modes. Can't post the pics but they are on my system page.

Adding a distributed bass array was the single biggest improvement to my system.

And, looking at your system page, that is a very impressive and flat frequency response you have achieved. Totally jealous.

Thanks. It's taken me a long time and is still a work in progress. Cannot stop tweaking.
One of the more interesting phenomena I've noted is that while I have been able to achieve an even flatter frequency response, the room modes were far worse. It's kind of a balancing act. 

@tcutter I see a lot of visual symmetry in the room which is quite pleasing to the eye. Did you make some aural compromises to achieve this? Or does it just happen to sound better AND be visually symmetrical?

Little physics, little aesthetics, lot of luck. Anal retentiveness probably helps.

not to derail the topic, but I gotta ask: how do you like your Vinnie Rossi pre w/ your XA60.8s???
