@immatthewj hey dug out an old sub, planted it center in my room set, phase, volume and my low pass filter and viola. In your quest and posing the questions you made me rethink my setup and helped to make it better.
Thank you!
Subwoofer between speakers?
After reading through a thread relating to the equipment rack between speakers, I assume that the sub between the speakers is also a no-no?
My speaker stands are 24.5" high, and my sub is 24" high, so I was thinking that the sub cabinet being below the mid-range driver might mitigate the detrimental effects to imaging. But I read a reply in the thread that I alluded to which talked about an amp between the speakers having a negative effect on imaging . . . therefore it stands to reason that a big bulky sub cabinet would be about 20 times worse.
I know that ideally I should experiment with placement . . . this is an extreme near-field listening room, and options are limited. I could get it to the outside of my right channel speaker . . . in theory, would that be better than in between?

@immatthewj yes center between my speakers. Liked it okay but not 100% sure. |
@ieales Okay if you say so. Deep bass frequencies in recorded music are between 40 and 50 Hz. The lowest note in a rock band is 42.5 Hz My speakers spec or at least one set. Drivers: Sensitivity: 90dB (2.83V/1m) Impedance: 4 Ohms Frequency Response: |
