Constantly, nearly any measurements of W371A owners display a ruler flat bass response to 20Hz. That's impressive. Is this in complementary mode?
Can you describe the sound compared to multi-sub or subwoofers in general? Is it like your room (walls disappear)? Do you hear an effortless, tactile bass response as you usually get outdoors or in massive big rooms?
Though no one knows what Genelec is doing, I'd like to know if the system (only) assigns and selects crossover between each bass driver at the point of the lowest dip? or does the DSP also apply some bass-steering, phase/time tricks to steer bass?
Last but not least, from our multi-sub journey, we know that if one subwoofer measures flat, the result will vastly differ when you combine multiple room-corrected subs. Since W371A is effectively calibrated individually per channel (not as a mixed pair), the sum of two individually corrected W371A potentially isn't flat anymore. Any thoughts?
I’m running in complementary mode.
I noticed my left and right graphs are fairly identical and the GRADE report shows fairly equal impulse response on both. That wasn’t always the case and if you read the 33 pages they send you they discuss a lot.
Putting them closer and creating a reflection free path to my ears really changed things.
I have never done multi sub. However before the w371 I had 2x7360. The bass is just different. The biggest gain is in realistic mid bass.
Nothing I could do with those subs helped above 100Hz. Also there was always some dip or another which I could not control for. Usually some massive dip around 120Hz.
The w371 has corrected all that for me.
When the Trinnov Nova arrives the plan to is connect the 7360s behind my listening position. But the eventual goal is to sell the expensive 7360s and replace them with Rythmik subs.
With a 6 channel max I could add 4 subs. Now they did not announce if the Nova does all that MSMC stuff. That is a free upgrade for their cinema processors.
I hope the Nova has all those features within the limitations of having 6 channels.
