Different subwoofer settings for different albums?
@hilde45 and @mijostyn, I appreciate your feedback to my question and I agree that this dealer is not quite the all-around audio expert I was hoping he was. Fortunately, I could reality-check that questionable advice on this forum. I've relied on ... 
Roon for high end audio?
Roon is a wonderful high end service for usability and sound quality. I use it to access Qobuz and tidal subscriptions in hi-res and access files stored on a hard drive (which in my case is in a custom Roon server/computer). Roon itself will not h... 
Very new to high end audio - Recomendations

Different subwoofer settings for different albums?
@hilde45 -- look this was a private conversation with this dealer and I didn't provide him any indication I would be broadcasting any of his personal opinions by name on a public forum so I just feel weird about doing so.  PM me if you want more i...

Different subwoofer settings for different albums?
Thanks everyone.  I don't want to divulge the name of this dealer because I think he has been very helpful in other ways and nobody's perfect, right?  But I will use my subwoofer and I will not worry too much about needing to mess with it from rec...

@golfnuts - I’ll check out REW, but was hoping to keep it even simpler first…

@deadhead - I just didn’t want to spend the $ for JL right now, but I know it’s got a well regarded DSP.  Maybe someday.

@pedroeb - that b&w software looks great. Hadn’t seen that one before. 
Subwoofers with room correction built in?
@jrpnde - I’ve had subs in my system before, but that was before I had my system dialed in he way it is now.  I had in order rel t9i and rythmik 15, both nice subs, but manual adjustments were just too much trouble, even after taking a methodical ...
