Thanks what did you mean by "Long decay means much less defined bass ????? Easily fixed with absorption"

That makes sense. It is surprising that some modes are being excited at upto 200 hz that is more than one octave away. But then it may not take that much to excite a room mode.

I agree and am enjoying the system now. One thing I realized is that at freq. lower than 100 hz, it is more important to have the enrgy there, flatness of the curve is not that important at least as far as I can HEAR it. One conceptual question though: How does a sub operating at 90 Hz and...

Agree with you about coverage till about 50 hz. But I was concerned about the elevated volume between 50 and 100 hz with ls50 alone. I was hoping that a cross over at 90 will flatten that region as the sub is very flat. But then I get numerous room modes even as high as 150 hz when a Sub is...

Thanks David. Can you elaborate what you mean by "blend extremely well"? Look at the REW frequency response plots here: http://imgur.com/x53Kit9 and let me know what I should look for in the amplitude or phase matching that shows that the SUB and LS50s are blended well. Thanks Everyone else...

Do we have anyone here who has good knowledge of DRC, specially about difference between IIR and FIR filters, how they work and what may provide the better sound quality improvement.

I hear you and agree that many tracks don't have much below 50 hz. What I was surprised about was that with tracks that do have good bass, i did not hear that much difference between with sub and without. Remember, that using REW, I could see that with a sub, I had better covergae below 50 hz...

I agree with you on the quality of bass in ls50. But I do not hear any difference in the clarity of sound with or without the sub. I was hoping that I would but could not hear it. I was was also hoping that I would be able to hear better low freq coverage that the sub provides. I can clearly...

Now that I have played around with and decided on the use of sub with LS50S, I would like to start a discussion if getting rid of room modes by a DRC will help the sound quality and by how much. Specifically I would like to get your opinion if IIR or FIR is the best way to suppress room...

So here is the update. I got the sub and integrated it with my main speakers LS50s. I also used REW to match the levels, crossover freq. and phase between the two. While REW shows better low freq. coverage down to 30 or even 25 hz with the sub, I was surprised that with almost all my music...

Got it. By the way this is my favorite song... Also send me a message on shkumar4963 at gmail and I will call you.

No I would not call them muddy. But muddy is a relative term. They are definiltely not as clear as they imagine them to be if thye were playing live few feet from me. I have to hear some higher end gear to see if I can get any cleaner bass than my current setup gives. But clearly your tracks...

It shouldn't be big. It should be seamless, smooth and unoticable transition. The sub should be audible only on really deep bass tracks, not on everything or nothing. If you think you got it roughly right, next take your time and look for the sweetspot. Use good lossless recordings with no...

Grill is removed and Sub is clearly playing and loud. Remember it is crossed over at 90 Hz.
