Floyd; Audyssey used to measure level, distance and optimize EQ for each sub individually. Years ago I had them over my place to show how that doesn't work well for multi-sub as it's very unpredictable. They have since then updated the algorithm (though I haven't tested it) to set level, and...

The problem with the small rooms we listen in is that they so often present us with offensive bass booms, and the bass is different at different seating locations. The traditional solutions for taming room resonances have relied on low-frequency absorption (a.k.a. bass traps), system layout, and...

I've been obsessed with Arrow until season 4 hit. Oilicty romance and magic is just killing my buzz. Glad to get back to a more grounded show like Daredevil.

Season 2 started already? WTF? Off to Netflix I go!

Update: 3/18/16: We are in the process of settling this dispute out of the court system with Ethan Winer of RealTraps. As a show of good faith, we renamed the page title in reference to the real problem at hand, YouTube's Unfair Copyright and Strike Policy. Ethan has shown good faith by...

No, now he is asking me to take the article off the homepage before he submits the retractions. I told him this isn't the Kobayashi Maru and he needs to live up to our agreement. This is also why I have a lawyer drafting up a mutual NDA to avoid further "misunderstandings". This whole process...

Just because you don't want a big, bulky subwoofer in your room doesn't mean you have to forgo powerful bass. An in-floor or in-ceiling subwoofer will allow you to generate nauseating levels of bass without ever having to look at a hulking subwoofer. In this article and YouTube video combo, we...

Agreed. This is a major problem and I plan on doing a YT rant with Hugo about it this week to help bring more awareness. Though, it may also open up the floodgates for haters of our channel to try to file frivolous claims. Hmm.

This is particularly troublesome:

I purposely jacked the FR resolution to make my graphs look worse in case any skeptics doubted the results. As Floyd said, the reality is often much better than seen in a waterfall graph.

You're INSANE but definitely an Audioholic at heart :)

Hi Joshua, you still need to treat them as 2 subs since the 4ft distance just isn't enough to benefit for better room mode manipulation. You would definitely benefit from: positional EQ (move the seats) sub placement experimentation mDSP or other EQ system

For those following the FB Group Discussion here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hometheaterenthusiasts/ I posted one and only reply to address it and Ethan's commentary:

Excellent post, I thank you for doing this! I probably should have level matched to make an apples to apples comparison but you hit the nail on the head.

As I said in the following article and related YouTube Video: http://www.audioholics.com/home-theater-calibration/bass-optimization-for-home-theater which also mimics what Dr. Floyd Toole has also shared, Bass traps are one way, multi-sub + SFM is another for dealing with bass below the...

He obviously doesn't want to resolve this as he continues to post manipulated graphs of my room on a Facebook Group BEFORE the latest data I presented in my new article. I can't reply b/c I am not an approved member, but here is a screenshot.

Desktop audio is generally a letdown. But leave it to Emotiva to come up with a desktop speaker that defies conventional wisdom. Emotiva's AirMotiv 3b is two way, front-ported speaker that is great-souding, chest-thumping, and takes up minimal real-estate while also being kind on your wallet...

I said Real Traps were ugly, but I meant bass traps in general. That was apparently offensive enough for Ethan to take these actions.

Here is my response: The name of the FB group is Home Theater Enthusiasts for those that are interested. I can't figure out how to join and post in it but oh well.
