“While not technically accurate, many (possibly most) home theater enthusiast run their sub(s) hot.“
True for novices. Absolutely DO NOT agree for any serious enthusiast. If you have a properly calibrated and room corrected system, turning the subs up even 3db sounds so obviously bad. Someone who wants to HEAR the subs working and have them stand out is not someone who I’d ever trust for audio advice in any way. And that’s a huge problem with AVS forum.
