This thread is interesting to me because I've spent the last 10 days with a room analyzer, a PEq, 2 subs and 2 ears. There seems to be a lot of theory being argued here and I wonder how many people have worked through this process in their room. I only say this because my experience 'till now has been one of near total unpredictability: What works best for one combo of sub/main fails miserably for the next.
I understand that my experience is limited, and I do not want to overstate my expertise, but so far, trial and error appears to be the only way to a good answer. To date, being wed to one philosophy of phase coherence, crossover slope, etc would seem to be a recipe for disaster. I know this is not a satisfying conclusion, but it's the one I've reached thus far.
