"why?" is a fair question! I’m only interested in trying it since I have the sub here just sitting idle.
Unfortunately, my current listening room isn’t really that great and I know I’m not able to get the kind of performance with my current placement that I’ve had in better room situations.
As for the tuning, I have done all that using the RS meter and the Stereophile warble tones (guess I could download the Vandertones and compare). Not trying for perfectly flat as I know that’s a fools errand--but thought "why not" since I have the sub. My goal isn’t to get more bass--rather to see if there’s a spot where the extra sub simply smooths everything out a bit and I don’t need to have a couple of my EQ setting either full on or fully attenuated.
I have spoken with RV (different topic) and he was really helpful, but I know he can be a bit on the unvarnished side. At any rate, I'm going to mess around just for fun and use a spectrum analyzer/pink noise generator as well as the Vandersteen method and see what happens.
