Nice job taking this thread off topic guys. Sheesh...
I expect more from some of you.
Anyway, to attempt getting this thread back on topic, here are some measurements I took this morning:
NOTE: All measurements taken at listen position.The above graph is running my TLs full range at my listening position (blue=left, red=right).
This graph has a 40Hz high-pass filter applied (blue=left, red=right).
Last time I posted stuff like this, Dennis freaked out.
Just so EVERYONE understands, my room is the cause of that 38Hz peak. It's there with ANY speaker or subwoofer I use in my room. I haven't figured out a way to solve that yet except for using my subwoofer with it's parametric EQ. When I do that, I get this on the bottom end:
Nice, eh?
I'm going to spend the next week or so listening to my HT2-TLs sans subwoofer. I can't hear that peak in too many tracks that I've listened to this morning, and when I do hear it, it's so deep and low that it's not really all that bothersome. The bass has less weight to it without the sub. I don't know which I like better, sub or no sub. I promised myself I wouldn't revisit this type of thing, but here I am again...
I did pull my speakers another 6" or so from the front wall and the peak dropped about 2db and the frequency response between 50-80Hz raised a bit. I don't know that I hear that, but it improved nonetheless. I'm about as far from my front wall as I can go already, so this is not my 38Hz bass peak solution.
I'm experimenting with room treatments now. I plan on purchasing some GIK acoustic panels, but I need to understand what I need and where before ordering. I'm also waiting on my good friend Nuance to drag his sorry butt to my house for a day of testing and measuring my room to try and figure out the acoustics.
