The sub is a Paradigm Servo-15 placed against the center of the 22' front wall, 3' behind the main speakers.
The mains are B&W CDM 9NT crossed over at 80hz @ 60º Phase.
I'm currently using a 35hz crossover @ 30º Phase, and the results are slightly better if I can accept the slight reduction in 20hz extension.
The new phase angle seems to partially mitigate the 50-60hz hump and 80hz null. (the hump begins to reappear if the level is raised much further though)
BTW, if I have one nit to pick with the Servo-15, it's that it's frequency range is too broad. A steeper crossover filter at 35hz would be nice for integrating with large speakers. The bass is extremely clean and effortless at high SPL though.
50z crossover @ 30º:
db - hz - (deviation from 1khz reference; db)
69 - 20 - (-6)
72 - 25 - (-3)
74 - 31 - (-1)
75 - 40 - (0)
74 - 50 - (-1)
74 - 63 - (-1)
71 - 80 - (-4)
76 - 100 - (+1)
67 - 125 - (-8)
72 - 160 - (-3)
73 - 200 - (-2)
