    Gene's staff reference system 1 question.

    Jim; Good question. I am actually using the Audyssey Pro for my 4 subwoofers only. I am still using Audyssey built into my Denon 5805. Its a bit complicated, but the combo of the 2 is quite awesome if you spend the time to tweak, and measure the results. I am still working on this...

    Denon 3806 + Audyssey = WOW

    The 3805 did NOT have Audyssey and was based on a conventional PEQ implementation. The best settings for the 3806 are FLAT and Audyssey. The only difference between the 2 settings is the Audyssey mode rolls off the highs a bit to compenstate for the mixing process with most recordings...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    Bryan; I think your 2 sec decay times are a bit extreme and not typical in most home theater rooms. As chris has mentioned FIR base systems do frequency and time domain correction. Seat to seat variation goes down significantly when you use multiple subs. Imagine if you used a combo of...

    Its not a sound room for listening. Its an anechoic chamber (totally dead room) for making accurate measurements.

    No fishing, but plenty of deer hunting :) J/K. Aside from plenty of good eating, we spent alot of time on their dock by the lake enjoying the icy cool lake and discussing audio snake oils, among other things.

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    The problem I have with the literature on your site as well as Ethan's is you both claim active equalization can NOT resolve modal ringing. This in NOT true. PEQ will resolve modal ringing issues if the correction is benefical in the frequency domain. In addition, using multiple subs will...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    Bryan; I don't have the time or desire to continually rehash this topic with you and Ethan. Sadly much of the misinformation about the benefits of multiple subs and equalization to minimize modal ringing on our forums seem to come from both of your websites and related postings. I have...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    Placing a sub in the center of the room is the WORST place you can possibly position it. Do you mean center room front wall? When using 2 subs, its best to use subs with similar output capabilities so you don't overdrive the weaker sub which in your case would be the Paradigm. You can...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    Of course you and Ethan have never been in rooms that don't need bass traps. You both making a living selling them exclusively :rolleyes: The truth is, if you use multiple subwoofers, proper speaker and seating placement, the need for bass trapping goes down significantly. As a prime...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    Yes in a square room, you must use every means possible to better your bass response. Though don't over abuse any particular method. There seems to be a tendency by some to over treat a room which is NOT a good thing. We do teach most of what is needed to know related to home theater here...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    Bass traps are NOT a necessity in most rooms. You can achieve excellent bass response by properly positioning and integrating 2 subwoofers in your room along with minimal EQing (if needed). If you still have issues afterwards, you can add passive treatments as needed but its best to consult...

    RBH speakers

    I added the Velodyne Subs b/c my room is L shaped and I needed to smooth out the bass response across all listening seats. This did the trick quite nicely. I would try just the T30 system by itself first and add a sub or 2 only if needed later on. The SA400 + T30LSE system in any normal...
