Dynaudio Contour 30 vs. Focal Kanta No. 2 speaker
@progger58  Focals have an assertive tweeter. I have lower end ones and they can get trashy at times but I like the sound overall.if that helps at all 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
@davekayc most likely no New speakers for me in 2020. Probably put the sub back in and make the best of it.its all I can do 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
So I took the mains off their stands and put them on top of some weights. They are about 1 foot off the ground now. Sound is warmer but still not getting that low bass “bump”. If I stand up and put my head right above my head sitting there it is.w...

@millercarbon 4 subs is a no go for me. I live in an apartment after all. I did try to move the sub next to the couch and I feel like I have it so it integrates well and isn't apparent thats its next to the sitting position.All in all it remedies ...

So it seems. Lear to me now I have a null. I only get the nice bass drum hit when my head is all the way back against the wall. No bueno.with the sub on the front wall I get the same as I do though the mains. If I move 3ft left of the couch which ...

@davekayc  I'm fighting a bass null at the sitting position so I wondered about, having the mains spread further apart but toed in at a steeper angle to limit low frequency waves going straight at the wall and being reflected back. Basically havin...

@davekayc what about 2 way bookshelf speakers? Same? 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
Does the direction of either the mains’  midbass driver or the sub make any difference?Like if I point my mains away from a bass null would that help negate it? 
Turntable placement help
Yeah it’s hollow but I wondered about those AC pads and a bamboo butcher block between the turntable and shelf.anither thought is to move the tt 6 feet to the right and put on something. My records are right there so that would be nice. I’m guessi...

@erik_squires  placement in terms of nulls makes perfect sense.  I will read more into that 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
I guess I’d have to see what “placed ideally” equates to. Some light reading have the impression that one on each wall was the answer. How true that is I do not know.if 2 $500 subs are better overall than 2 $200 subs then so be it. I’m just genuin... 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
So is it the consensus that 2 cheap Dayton or BIC subs are better than spending $500 on a SVS or Rythmik?if I rabbit hole here I wouldn’t go more than 2 subs and my cheapy 200 watt sealed sub seems to be doing ok (can’t find a 2nd one anywhere sad...

@perkri I’ve been meaning to do that. I need a longer cable and with Christmas fast approaching I’m not sure when I’ll get to it.it was mentioned about switching phase which I dismissed as it was set to 0 (on the front wall) but going to 180 made ...
