Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done?
@erik_squires  I have 13 bass traps and several diffusion panels in a 10x13 room. Using EQ is a last resort for me. I've been working on my room acoustics for 2 years, trying all manner of controlling low end, but there's not much I can do below ... 
Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done?
@erik_squires  A little follow-up. A few months ago I tried using a HPF and sub to deal with my low end issues. That was pretty successful below 80hz, but I still had other things I wasn't satisfied with. I bought the White EQ to work on those. B... 
Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done?
I just purchased a White Instruments Model 4856 graphic equalizer. I only set it up Wednesday so I can't say much about my satisfaction with it. I'll be playing with it for a few days.  I can tell you it's extremely quiet. I tried a Schiit Lokius...

Sub suggestions please
I know the general recommendation is two subs are better, but that wasn't my experience. I started with a single SB1000 and liked it so much, I bought a second. I spent weeks trying to integrate the two, trying different locations and numerous DSP... 
Problems with lost Qobus Playlists?
I experienced that during my free trial of Quboz. After reimporting them from Soundiz I have not had any losses. But Quboz has a poor interface and database. I often look for something under the artist name and can't find it unless I search for a ...

What exactly is PRaT???
Objectivity is generally in short supply around audio and music. It's all in our heads. But it doesn't seem hard to imagine that some speaker and amp combinations differ in how quickly the drivers respond to transients and how quickly a large diap... 
What exactly is PRaT???
@soix  As a drummer, you know you can push the beat or play more relaxed and still be "on time". It's a feel thing. I notice it most on plucked strings. Acoustic guitar, mandolin, pizz strings.  I think it's mostly about transient response on th...
