Ha ha ha. That is pretty funny, Uncertainsmile. I like your response. I think that I could feel what you wrote. When I posted my answer, I knew that Rfjaudio had a pretty good sub, as he posted another thread regarding the calibration for his James EMB-1200. However, I posted my answer b/c he was asking for movie clips, not better sub. Phew. Good luck w/ your quest on both threads, Rfjaudio.
Setting up a subwoofer
I have a James EMB-1200 with B&W 803s as my main speakers and an AVM-20 processor. When I set the subwoofer level using pink noise from the AVM, I must set the gain on the subwoofer to near max volume (the james has a 1200 amp) to get a consistent read on my Radio Shack SPL between the 803s and the sub.
When I play bass-intensive soundtracks like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, the bass is overwhelming and the subwoofer gets close to bottoming out.
My question, is there a more accurate way to set the subwoofer level, or is it that movies like Star Wars and LOTR are just over-the-top bass intensive?
Thanks!
