Subs and room nodes

Hi Erik 

Thanks for the response. I think I’m in a tricky situation as my room was designed by an acoustician. There is no drywall inside the room. All the walls have Rockwool between the studs with 1/4 inch pegboard on top of that. In addition to that the walls opposite the speakers have 2 inch rigid fiberglass on top of the pegboard with fabric covering everything. There is plenty of bass between the speakers next to the floor to ceiling bass trap in the corner. Of course it’s the listening position where it’s gone. I believe I will have to measure the room at some point to ascertain a more accurate picture of the room 

I forgot to mention I have a corner set up with the speakers.

I hadn’t thought of that. Excellent idea! Thank you.

Thanks for the tips. I’ve heard the crawl works well. I have never used REW but I do have a U Mic. I’ll check out those links as well.

Hi spenav 

Thank you! 

As of right now I have no subs in the listening room. My dealer is coming next Friday to do a master set and if subs are needed (I’m assuming right now they will be needed) I will rob 2 REL S510s from our HT upstairs to try out. 

I am hoping that they aren’t needed so I can get the full potential out of my Rockport Avior ii speakers 

Thank you everyone for the responses. I’ve learned so much here in the time I’ve been on agon. It’s a really great forum. 
 

Happy listening!

Thank you. I have been enjoying the Aviors tremendously. The Boulder 866 paired with them seems to be an amazing combination. One thing I didn’t realize was how much the sound would change as the speakers have broken in. I actually thought the room was a dud but it was the speakers not being broken in. I think you are right that just some small adjustments will be needed.
