Lack of bass in NHT 3.3.
For grins I ran the same test in my listening room which seems to have the same level of ambient noise and got slightly superior results. About what I expected, my martin logan sub is putting out a little bit more spl than the built in nht subs. A... 
Lack of bass in NHT 3.3.
Onwhy I have run the test to the best of my ability and with the following info. Found an old mmg test cd(ultimate test cd). It starts with a 0 db test tone at 1khz and then offers tones at -10db of 20,30,40,50,60,100,..... Hz. The room the speake... 
Lack of bass in NHT 3.3.
Onwhy, sorry if I did not read your instructions carefully. When you say strong down to 30 Hz I am guessing that this frequency area should have the same db reading. Will check it out if I can find an appropriate cd with the requisite tones. Thank... 
Lack of bass in NHT 3.3.
Thanks again onwhy. The omnimic shows a nice flat frequency response down to 20 Hz. My question is more about the spl levels I should expect from this 12 inch sealed subwoofer, as I have stated it seems to be about the same as my Martin Logan Grot... 
Lack of bass in NHT 3.3.
Thanks onwhy. Have the omnimic and can measure SPL with that. To my ears they seem to perform like my other subwoofer, the lowest frequencies are audible but do not have a lot of SPL. And what should the proper spl be for a sub woofer? The other d... 
Lack of bass in NHT 3.3.
Thanks Dave but they are positioned correctly and have 300 watts from a Bryston 4bsst. I am not convinced the output is low, the would be buyer is. Just want to make sure before selling that the speakers are indeed functioning as designed. May hav... 
Salktower opinions
I have a pair and 2 other listeners(that have a good deal of experience)that have heard them do not like the tweeter. If you are in Dallas some time and want to hear mine let me know. 
Mystery of the Disappearing Frequency
Hello all, sorry for not replying in a while. Tried to move speakers around today. As I moved them back the dip at 50 hertz did reduce a bit but the reduction got moved into the 32 hertz range turning my relatively flat bass response(achieved by j... 
Mystery of the Disappearing Frequency
Am using Omnimic, think it was mentioned in original post, if not my apologies, have floor to ceiling corner bass traps from GIK in corners on wall behind speakers. Most would probably think my room has too much rather than too,little room treatme... 
Mystery of the Disappearing Frequency
Thanks for replies. Microphone was calibrated upon receipt and the phenomenon shows up on an Ipad app as well. Old speakers and current speakers have been in about 6 different positions(the NHT's are designed to be only a few inches from back wall...

VPI Classic 1. Defective or design flaw
The cheater plugs i have around here tend to have way too tight a connection for the plug to go all the way in but i can look for some new ones. As far as the culprit goes I thought it had to be this table since none of the other three around have... 
VPI Classic 1. Defective or design flaw
Stringreen thanks for the reply. My former guru has talked to me about growing nds and hum and ground loops and cheater plugs before. What I am not cetain about in your reply is where the cheate plug goes, on the vpi power cord at the wall outlet?...
