So I moved my L and R speakers further out from my back wall (13") and moved my subs off of the side and back walls as well. This made a MASSIVE difference. My room measures better than ever and I can hear the difference. The REW files and images of the measurements are here on my google...

I'm not an investment professional, and you should talk to one. I'm going to recommend a Series i bond. You buy them off of Treasurydirect.gov. they pay an interest rate based on inflation. This prevents your safety fund cash from sitting idle during periods of inflation. Two issues with...

I'm going to try this when I'm back in town next weekend. Which sub should I move more central, the one next to a wall or the one next to the railing? Or maybe I will try and measure both scenarios. Thank you!!

Thanks for the feedback! By the way, in each of the graphs, the green line is left sub, the red line is right sub, and the black line is both subs.

I' ve been experimenting with subwoofer placement and doing measurements with REW. I have an odd shaped room with furniture placed in it so my options were limited. A diagram of my room and some pics is here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L9x314fCfxW7Svsqhp8393OOunI7p-c3 I am down to...

So I turned audyssey off and here are my new measurements. I changed a ton of AVR settings, most notably crossover frequencies, and the system came alive. Super happy with it. Take a look if you like. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_808ravdlEQhEIQP9ZchMN6Lg-toVBVG?usp=sharing

Man sorry I didnt see this until now. I watched a YouTube video that helped me set this up. On my particular laptop I had to mess with audio driver settings so it took me lots of trial and error to get it to work. Here is a link to the video... Hope this helps.

Getting ready to buy a set of bookshelf speakers and wondering what the impact of laying the speakers on their sides on a bookshelf. Will this significantly mess up the sound quality? I have built in bookshelves that sit on top of larger base cabinets (see pic). I am considering the...

I raised the L and R channels 5 db and it sounds better. But get this...I turned Audyssey off and it sounded even better. I wonder if tuning Manually with REW is a better solution than using the automated room correction.

Should I also use the app to raise the volume on the LCR channels since they were 5-10 DB below the other channels? Thanks for all your help!!!

I ran two passes on the subs, turned one sub off and then did the other to get individual L-sub and R-sub measurements. That dip is only present on the Left sub. Are you recommending that I turn off midrange compensation in the Audyssey phone app? I noticed that the LCR channels were lower too.

Here's a screenshot of the 7 channel + subs measurement. Took me forever to learn how to be able to control all 7 speakers individually LOL. I used 1/6 smoothing. My mic calibration file was loaded, but I read online that my UMM6 mic should have two calibration files, one called 90-degrees...

One last note - these values are after Audyssey room correction. Should I reset everything and not use room correction before I take these measurements?

Question:. Should I also do each sub separately or should I do both subs at once?

Thank you, VoidX. Tomorrow I will measure each channel separately and plot. Man I have a lot to learn. But this is bringing me and my fiance tons of enjoyment.

Okay now I just figured out what you meant, you want me to change the y-axis to 45 to 105 DB to make the graph more clear. Let me try and figure out how to do that.

Hey thanks for responding. I think I might still be in the upgrade window, and I like SVS so much that even if it was a little bit past they would probably work with me because I think they make really good stuff and I would buy from them again. They just came out with a compact subwoofer, but...

Hey everyone, I am finally getting around to building a decent system and I am newly in a house that has space for it. I got a mic and downloaded REW and did my first measurements, although I am not really sure how to take the data and put it into action and make changes, so I could use a...

So I want to burn my entire CD collection to my new NAS in apple lossless format. My macbook does not have an internal drive and the external apple drive is I have so sooo slow. Can anyone recommend a drive that is durable (I have 500 CDs) and can load fast (40x?) that won't break the bank...
