From my measurement, THD is well under control and not very different from measurement of my EX5.

Yes, Equalizer APO. For room correction.

Still, <20Hz is not audiable anyways and KC62 cannot dive below 20Hz. (It can, but not audiable, SPL is below threshold). Maybe high SPL replay makes a difference, but, as you said, I usually don't do that for many reasons: 1. Neighbors will be unhappy. 2. My room mode simply explode at high...

Background story, see here: link My previous setup is Topping EX5 RCAout -> KEF KC62 -> Genelec G3. Now, because there is a nice selling offer, I sold my EX5 and currently running as: PC 3.5mm out->KEF KC62->Genelec G3. (The motherboard is ASUS C8H) Interestingly, I really could not tell if...

So, I am installing my personal Linux for some coding and I am interested in setting up some proper DSP there as well. So far, PulseEffects seems to be the easiest to set up yet I could not figure out how to use it properly. My main question is that I have no idea what are those 'mode' in...

EX5 for pre-amp and Scarlett Solo3 for calibrating. Genelec G3 + KC62, integrate to my room perfectly. Also have a HD600, for getting high at mid-night.

I think even some people more on the 'voodoo' side still use this, e.g. Paul@PSAudio. He mentioned that they are trying to include DSP for their bass unit. (well, that's basically EQ, just mentioned in another way) Therefore, after I watched that video, I never felt a single bit of guilty when...

I had previously posted my spectrum decay plot as well as IR, I will appreciate that if you could check them and comment on what to look at. (I am not 100% sure about how to interpert those plots desipte it is obvious I have some decaying issues below 50Hz) IR wise, there is a reflection that...

It sounds worth it indeed.

Yes I am aware that room modes are not to be fixed with just another sound source. I'll probably consider about that, if price suits. Currently it is roughly crovssovering around 100Hz despite I did not specifically set the xover for G3. There is indeed some over emphasize arond 60-80Hz, but...

To me it seems like you are half way into the rabbit hole of Hi-Fi: listening to gears instead of musics. I'd suggest spending more time auditioning. This works for me and then I realize what I am pursuing is more about this 'purchase' instead of its 'sound'. I found the sound I was expecting...

Maybe, just maybe, call the manufacturer first. If it is within warranty, then, you know what to do. If not, then it is either a amp replacement or a driver replacement. I believe both would cost you around half of the sub if the manufacturer have spare parts. There are indeed local repairs...

That had alrady made quite a difference to me. It fixed 80% of my spatial imaging problem in my room due to room asymmetry, also added statisfying level of sub bass. I would say this is more cost efficient than going for a bigger speaker for that lower bass. (I think generally full range...

This is actually the 4th figure in the original post. Here is the zoomed and less smoothed version: I had noctied the comb fitering but it might be something I got to live with for now... since it is all for my desktop entertainment system. More, because my room is not symmetric, you can see...

Legroom: decent enough for me. But surely 7040A should be better on that. (but if I want more bass and go for 7050C... then it does not have the advantage anymore) 180 degree phase shift is doing some job at the 80-90Hz area. I probably overlap too much curves that you might not notice that...
