Do you happen to have a measurement of your Fives using this measuring regime? Do you know what smoothing is applied to this, 1/12, 1/6? How do you have the Kef app tools set for this test? Wall mode? Bass extension?k
This is the result (no wall mode, bass extension extra, treble trim +3)View attachment 435140
The sweep was pretty loud and i could definitely hear more low frequencies now, so i truly think i need to do a slight V shape EQ, to maybe get satisfying bass at my listening level and to make it more comparable with the Fives/Duo’s.
The speakers are in a 35m2 rectangle room. Sadly i don’t have much flexibility in terms of
placement because of the layout of the room and the seating area in it.
Btw I’ve seen similar 0-250Hz peaks/dips out of my room eerily
It’s worth trying the standard and less extension bass options counterintuitively. I mean it’s only natural to want more extension right… without subs I’m not sure I’d use the more extension setting, especially if you like to step on the loud pedal frequently. Using up amp juice trying to get more output below that 30Hz doesn’t appear to be productive based on your fr. You really don’t need more super low response to have the bass you’re accustomed to with your Fives.
When I started playing with the subs in my setup I forgot to turn the greater extension on and couldn’t figure out why nothing changed below 30Hz. Once I did I had good output to 20Hz. Looks like with your layout and room response you aren’t going to get much below 31Hz without heroic effort. You will have more amp/peq headroom to use imo not trying to push lower using the extra extension option.
What’s your listening triangle dimensions? Where is your listening position relative to the room center?
*edit to add I appreciate your sharing your results. I learn more how the LS60’s settings affect things in discussions like this. Thanks
