From Twin 12's to Quad 15's

I dabbled with it on a whim one day when I really didn't have the time (or the head) to learn new software. I got through the first couple setup procedures and haven't messed with it since. I've also learned that the minimal gain to just one seating position did in fact come with a negative attribute to the center seating position so I moved the subs back to their toe-in position. This offers pleasing aesthetics (to me) and maximum performance in the center. I can live with it until I can use one of the RTA programs to see what's really going on.
Yeah, you can spend a lot of time analyzing this stuff. When it comes down to it, it's always some kind of a compromise - room appearance &/or WAF vs measured performance vs perceived improvements, etc. But then, it's always interesting to find out what's going on in your room. Hope you get it figured out.

Thanks DIYer for finding the thread!!!
I have become an official comic book fan! Along with the characters, movies, etc.
But, I have not a clue about the freckles remarks???
Thanks again!! :text-+1:
I do that from time to time. If I find that things sound a little bright a little too frequently, I'll turn them upside down which seems to decrease the high frequencies and increase the midrange. Then, at some point in the future, I'll find myself thinking things seem a little too dull and I'll flip them again. I'm sure it's related to the particular music I'm listening to at the time.heeman said:
Towen was here last November and commented that my speakers were a little brighter than he was used to. At that time, the tweets were on top and I've always been sorry I never flipped them while he was here to see if he thought it was "better". Anyway, with all the music I've been listening to lately due to the new subs, I once again found myself longing for a bit more midrange so they've gotten flipped in between the picture posting.
Good eye, by the way, :text-bravo:
Hum..............interesting being that the "norm" not necessarily the right way is to have the tweeter at ear level......
Tom's Mackies or should I say all Mackies are very bright so his comment is interesting to me???? (will I catch shit about this statement)??
I have said it many times that the subjectivness of this hobby will drive us perfectionist to DRINK.....bscene-drinkingdrunk:
I have not lead onto half the obsessiveness of trying to change things in our new HT. Especially with the recent sub changes.
When push comes to shove.................ah fuck it, I'm not sure.....................bscene-buttred:
Enjoy Your Weekend..................weather will not be good for the boat here so many hours will be spent in the HT.

A-blast-from-the-past-kinda-BUMP
Had an evening alone Saturday night and decided to play with my SPL meter. I recently disabled the EQ after years of having it enabled and now the only audio adjustment made in my processor is a -2.0dB treble cut using the Tone control. So I thought it was a good night to experiment and recalibrate.
For better or worse, I've always had the mindset that adjusting the trim levels into positive numbers was not a wise sonic move. And because of that (and using amps that weren't too terribly powerful), I've had to calibrate my speakers at 70dB to use a 0dB trim level. Part of my experiment was to calibrate to 80dB to see if I could hear any anomalies. And doing so found my trim levels going up to +6dB. After several minutes of playing source material and slowly increasing the volume, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I couldn't hear any anomalies so I felt comfortable in pushing things a little further.
Armed with some newfound headroom (output) and no one else in the house to disturb, Short Attention Span Theater was officially underway.
Since my SPL meter was nearby, I thought I'd use it to see what kind of listening levels I was achieving which is something I've never done before. Before long I was doing full blown Dolby Reference Level volume and achieving 105dB peaks for the subs. I was more than a little impressed.
