Since this thread is from 2021, I am wondering if the OP is still around? One thing that is interesting to me- I have experimented, somewhat, with this myself using the AVR's LFE+Main setting and also using mains set to Large in the AVR- I am assuming the OP used something similar. I do know...

Do you have sub(s)? Just thinking that you probably don't need more power than the 3800 has already, especially if crossing over to a subwoofer. If you don't have subs, maybe that would be a better use of your budget, vs getting a separate amp that might not really add much. If I had to pick...

Here's some good information on using REW in car audio- https://testgear.audiofrog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/A-Straightforward-Stereo-Tuning-Process-and-Some-Notes-About-Why-it-Works.pdf

I have two HSU VTF2-MK5's that the 18's are replacing. I suppose I could sit one of those on top of the 18's and see if that cleans up the null at 65hz. In order to make that work, I would have to use an RCA Y-adaptor of some sort. My Denon 3600 AVR has two sub outputs which I am currently...

Well the subs are Rythmik FV18's which weigh about as much as I do. So unless you have a crane you could loan me, I don't think elevating will be possible. But I won't rule it out. All kidding aside, any thoughts to using the 80hz crossover if we know at 90hz a polarity switch is needed for...

I was looking at phase and impulse alignment between my subs and center channel in REW using the alignment tool. I am not sure if this is the correct procedure, but I was thinking that it would give insight on the best crossover point to use for the center crossing over to the subs. If I align...

Yes, facing the room like shown in the photo is the worst response. I didn't include that in the original measurements as it was much worse. The black trace above is with them facing each other. The orange trace is them turned facing the outer walls. Sounds like the black trace is what I...

The subs are behind an acoustically transparent screen in a home theater set up. See picture below with the screen removed- I am limited to these placement options. The deep at 65hz is due to 9’ ceiling height. If the Umik is held on the floor, that dip goes away.

Hello All, I am trying a couple of locations for my subwoofers that give me the best overall output. They are located on my front wall and flank my center speaker. After a lot of measurements, I have found the two best locations but I cannot decide which is best. This is the combined...

Great to see in-wall speakers being reviewed. I am doing a home theater build with 3 in wall speakers (LCR) behind an acoustically transparent screen. Having always been a floor standing speaker guy, would it make sense to get in wall speakers that can be aimed? Toe-in is always a big deal on...

What a time to be alive. Keep up the excellent work OP! Vizio soundbars have been pretty well regarded, so looking forward to what the data shows. Thanks so much!

Thank you both! Yes, toe-in helped. I had them aimed past the outside of each shoulder. I aimed them a little more towards the main listening position and it bought the vocals forward. Never really experienced that with other speakers before.

I am finding that the Elac DFR52's have some recession in the midrange. Seems as if the singer is behind the band on a lot of tracks. Do you notice this with your pair? I am running Audyssey XT32, but have it limited to 200hz and below. I might try running it full range to see if it can...

They have free returns if you order direct. You could do a head-to-head comparison and return the loser.

I haven't heard the C25, but I have the RC263 and it is the best center I have heard and I've tried a bunch. SVS Ultra, Klipsch RC-64 III, Elac, etc.
