Improving sub quality

My subs sit on an auralex Gramma stacked and corner loaded. Not too boomy, and reasonably careful phase adjustment, SPL measurements, and gain control has kept things seemingly accurate.

Hi Rauliruegas,
I did perceive the bass response to be better controlled when the sub is being floated by the Aurios. What I could hear better is the individual bass notes being played either from a movie or musical concert dvds. IMO the "quality" of the bass has certainly improved but the "quantity" has a diminishing effect. YMMV though.

Hi,

The biggest improvement for my sub is to put it on a 6" Lovan stand w/ 3 spikes at the bottom to discs. It has virtually cured overhand and boominess which rob midrange of its liquidity. I've tried various footers by itself and there's no comparison.

YMMV,

Hi Ipy: I do intensive test over the Aurios ( both models ) and my subs: the first time that I use the Aurios I was delighted for what " a priori " was a huge improvement, over the time I perceived that something was wrong not only with the " quantity " of the bass but ( more important ) with the " quality " : no pitch control and very " soft " bass. So, I return to spikes to " see " what happen and spiked everything was really on target.

What happen with the Aurios ( floating ) and subs: for a sub can do its work it is a must that when the woofer had a foreward/rearward movements the " box " stay dead-movement like a big heavy stone because if the " box " moves with the woofer movement ( like in the Aurios ) the bass sound reproduction will have a high diminishing effect ( like you say ) that will be far from the reality. Ipy: try to imagine what happen with the woofer movement through an Aurios and you can have the right answer. My english is bad and I do a great effort to explain this subject but it is very dificult to me do that in a good shape: sorry.

I can remember a rave review of the Aurios by R. Harley ( I think ) using through a subwoofer. Right now , I know he was wrong.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

seandtaylor99,
I just moved my subs out in front of my center channel and the sweeps on TrueRta look great.When I had them in opposite corners (front) I had a null from 42hz-68hz at the listening position.They are really flat from 10hz to 100hz.I ended up changing the xover frequency because they extended so well out to 100hz.
