wow so much diff between before and after correction..

this is why super sub power is nothing without control (pirelli) tongue.gif


anyway can slight overboost 20-50hz or not? maybe get it slightly over 0db line...

At the end of the day I think you're just facing budget constraints like all of us. Which of us doesn't want a better system? Yes, nothing is perfect but you can get better. There are so many ways to improve a system, better sub, better AVR, better cables, better speakers... the EQ1 is just another component along the way. Whether it is worth it or not is an individual decision.

You say you don't pursue perfection, but I'm sure you pursue for something better. Isn't that why you upgrade to your PC12+?

I guess no point explaining to some.... different people different priorities.. I guess he prefers a different path.. smile.gif

lightning69,

Jchong put it correctly. It is up to the individual. I believe you do not even need to invest in the sub eq. 1st would be to chart your current performance. Then, with no cost associated and if your room would allow it, move the sub to various positions and see the response. I don't believe you need to be aiming for perfection but instead without spending any money, just the best that you can get. I believe in recreating what the director intended and do not want my room to distort any more than it shd.

Try charting your room response and then decide. In your case, since u hv invested in a 1st class sub, why not optimize the position based on actual data instead of only the ear. With the data and your ear, you can make an informed decision. If a flatter graph does not sound correct to you, then u made the choice based on data and not just the ear. The ear can fool u.

For all u may know, ur sub might already be as flat as a prairie......

Anyway, my 2cents worth....its ur sub, ur room and ur wish in the end.

anfield.. well some say just use user controls to adjust TV until you like the color is fine (cos if owner like it so be it)

while others, go thro trouble to calibrate the TV (consumer way, like getting test DVD/BD etc, or pay for pros/ISF to do it)

I would say do some calibration if possible.. but others may say why pay for anything, if the owners eyes like the artificially boosted reds or greens then ok lor.. biggrin.gif
so it's hard to argue on these terms... biggrin.gif

Flat curves does not indicate the quality of the sound therefore your interpretation of "clean" sound is not entirely correct.  It simply shows that the sound level is more or less the same across all frequencies. 

But of course flat curve is place to start when you want to calibrate your sound system.  In the end, our ears are still the best judge of sound quality.
*
it's not about sound quality of individual taste under musical reproduction which is super subjective, but compliance of LFE track/sounds in a room for home theater requirement and standards..
try to aim for smoother curves and the time domain issues as tagies has brought up..

Time to save money and buy SVS-EQ1. If you are super cheap and willing to invest time in tweaking your system, try behringer DSP1124p and FBQ2496.

NO, super cheap is when you tell yourself, my systems sounds good enuf.. end of story.. thumbup.gif biggrin.gif

Me too, newbie on this. So, we should be looking at uniform gentle hills?

without looking at the time domain axis, you can see the X/Y from 20-50hz curve is quite violent (which you would use the EQ-1 to flatten) so it would be gentle hills after you EQ1ed n flatten it.. biggrin.gif

For me, I am just a guy who like to shop and compare prices and want to know where my hard earn cash go.

it's always good to compare notes and know how much we can get our equipment/software and subs, say like how cheap we can get AC ryan in loywat or latest Amazon promos, for example, but sometimes, certain conditions no matter how hard we try would be futile exercise .

so, when htkaki couldn't meet your prices with his recent quote, then maybe you should shop else where.. in fact since you could get a very good price via brunei or other direct US purchase, maybe you should continue to explore that avenue for all your future SVS pruchases.. I think, no point asking htkaki to PM you for best price.. since you know it's pointless deadend anyhow....
