Thank you.I have talked and worked with Edgar many times. How he manages to do all that he does is beyond me.He is a human dynamo. Nobody I know talks as fast as he does!I have the Bacch4Mac with the Babyface Pro + and room correction output through Roon. Is there anything more to be dome to activate the room correction other than to run it with the microphones in your ear in the listening position?If I understand you correctly, a point source box subwoofer is just fine to use with the Poporis so long as the subwoofer and Popori's output frequencies don't overlap.
What I have found is when the main speaker radiates bass in a figure 8 pattern, like here, then you really really want to have the sub match that pattern. Box subs stick out like a sore thumb because they radiate like a pulsing sphere. Makes perfect integration almost impossible.
My question is, did the woofer towers rolling off at 12 db/octave from 38 hz fill in all of the W3 roll off starting from 200 hz, or was e.q. added by the Baach or active crossover? I was surprised that removing the foam pads brightened the sound as I thought their purpose was to reduce bass output to accommodate closer rear wall positioning. I can understand the foam reducing the highs though.
So at the shows, when the Beach was not in the signal path, did the Popori's have the same approximate roll off as you shown, or did being 3' off the wall verses what looks like your 6' make for a more balanced bass response? Regarding the foam, I thought one was to use them when the speakers are close to the wall to reduce the bass to work with room gain and be removed when out in the room like you have. So removing the foam in this understanding should not make the highs more noticeable since the bass volume would be higher. Theory aside, we have to go by your experience, so thanks for that.
