Does You Subwoofer Settings ??

Thank You ... I had duals with smaller amp and when I went to larger amp decided to go largest SVS and most part happy because larger sub sounds more natural in bass sound than my small duals ever did.. 

But I know tinnitus effects some of what I experience at times but wanted to see if others do feel the same about their subwoofer and what they hear from them.

I really do not have the room for 2 big subwoofers,,LOL.

I have a Harley in there and do not want to give up that for another Sub and it really is just few songs that come up from time to time that makes me not totally satisfied and maybe best just to delete them from my Tidal selection..

I have been really thinking hard in Fall to hire someone to see if they can come in and adjust for optimum sound on what I have...Any one of you in NJ ..LOL

Thank You Again

Yes I agree on all the information I have received...And with my Tinnitus I do not play music over 75 db .. I was playing even lower but with bigger Raven Audio Reflection I realized how much detail I was missing ... So I do regulate my volume some with my hearing issues ..And playing at lower volume I was not getting the boom as when playing higher db...I will keep all this information at hand to refer back for reference as I thank You all again for your time ..

My system is new that is my Amp of approx 7 months. I had a Raven Audio Osprey Tube Amp and stepped up to their Reflection and have had Raven Audio Corvus Speakers for 5 years ...Last year I had speakers on steel stands and I finally built wooden box stands with Granite Base and granite top plate and it allowed me to hear the real music I have been missing for over 4 years..And now with Reflection a even larger sound that never knew could existe to my hearing..So at 73 yrs old I am really enjoying this new hobby for last 5 years..Some small adjustments with Subwoofer and maybe few tubes and believe I will be very happy.

I just like to sit back with Tidal Selected songs for about a hour and make no adjustments ..This makes me forget about my ringing tinnitus and this is about Max time I can listen before my hearing starts to become over sensitive ...

And take the songs that cause boominess put them in separate Tidal folder and adjust them and play them later...

The SVS can be adjusted while sitting and my Tidal streaming has no adjustment at computer..I have been just deleting songs that have to much boom for their is so much music to listen to ...and always looking for something new ...

One of the songs that had boom was Peter White Swept Away album version..

And I am very blessed to have the equipment I have and still be able to hear detail in songs I never heard from  solid state amp I have had..

I guess with tinnitus my hearing is so sensitive that probably more reason that it bothers me...Few song I use for testing are Kool & the gang Summer Madness and this at points really hurts my hearing and the other song I use for Bass is Marian Hill called Down...Fourplay and Chant and Fleetwood Mac Warm Ways..

I will say the SVS SB 16 sure does add range in the music I listen to 95 %..And yes some songs in the way they were recorded show No Signs of Bass in them..I will be more selective on what I play ... But I wanted to know how others felt the music and the bass with their Subwoofers ..

Even same Song recorded on another album at times have different feel to how they sound at times...

But you all have let me know its not just me and my Subwoofer..

Thank You for taking the time responding..

Yes the high pitch Kool and Gang Song I have to turn down for my ears..LOL...My Sub is approx 24 inches off wall and corner...See I do not understand all the language of Subwoofer and have to go by what others say and try and adjust .I am a big car guy and train and slot car person and can not read and understand ..So everything I do is by sound ...I contacted a Audio repair person and he gave me the number of person who may come out and help me..But that will not be before Fall..

So sls883 are you a sportster person ? 

I have made few adjustments.. I only play system when wife is out to enjoy music and probably good thing in few ways.. that the sound of system is sort of fresh and not tiring playing to much and saving my hearing even at 75 db ..

I turned the Sub 90 degrees and moved it out and this has helped... Also I had Sub set to high over my speakers and did not relize until I turned down sub and slowly brought it up ..My setting on SVS was 19 and now at 25...So wife goes out Friday will play some and see....My wheels are Custom one off Polaris Turbo Slingshot, .Harley Springer in living room for 25 yrs & Lotus Emira...2006 Jeep Unlimited Truck I built 2 doors.

I had the old SVS SB 2000 duals...You had to get up make adjustment and sit and did not understand what I was buying purchasing the SB16 with App...This one Subwoofer makes me happier than my dual SB2000's..When I shut the woofer off today to listen to my Main's and then bring woofer sound back into match mains I knew I had it to high and still need to lightly balance slightly..But understand what you are saying without subwoofer and just. playing music and hearing pure music without a Sub at times could be a nice change at times..Enjoy You Music.

The SVS SB16 sounds more natural than my Dual SB10 's I had..

Like anything you get time time time to set it up and settings..

I am sure my tinnitus does not help in setting it up for my ringing at times is high and lower at times ...Makes what you think your hearing questionable..But I ask the question to see how others felt  with their subwoofers...And as you see lots of responses..But placement seems to be biggest of them...And its hard to get everything in right place when room was not designed for higher end audio gear and trying to get higher end quality sound...I am blown away with my system and as you know I am sure you are never totally satisfied and think I can get more from what I have..If its moving speakers, rolling tubes etc...I am very happy with SB16 do I wish I could adjust it little more for certain songs yes but 95% happy..

Thank You and will come back for references at times here.
