Keep KH 750 sub or switch speakers

[onununo]

Just wanted to report that after trying out the setup for the last weeks, the calibration works really well with sub centered in front of me. I didn't change the settings Neumann calbration set and am now really satisfied with the result.
Also understood that I would need some serious bass absorption in the back if I wanted to fix the room mode at around 28hz.

Just add a tad of manual equalization to get rid of that bump.

If you say the bass is absent that " sounds"[ha see what I did there?] like a Phase issue. That is more than likely room related. See if you can beg, borrow or"aquire" twin subs to try & see if that loads your listening space a little better. If so you could easily find something half decent like that S/H for the price you could flog off the KH750's for. Also a bit of low end room boost isn't a bad thing. Eh, Just a subjective opinion. Me thinks all this flat response dreck LOOKS good on a PC screen. But who gives a toss if it don't SOUND good.

human hearing has low bass sensitivity at low volumes.

this is not correct, its the other way around.

for example, to match a 1KHz tone at 80dBSPL a 20HZ tone needs to be played at 113dBSPL which is a 33dbSPL perception difference, whereas at 1KHz tone at 100dBSPL would require 20hz @ 120dBSPL to match, as volume increase frequency response flattens is the best way to think of it

Your problem is targeting a flat response. This does not produce a pleasing or accurate sound

i disagree

targeting a flat response is correct as artists should be producing on a flat response. They can still mix the track how they would like so that others listening on a system with flat response can also enjoy it, mixing flat generally translates well to other systems, mixing with the sub at increased levels would give a false sense of how it will sound on systems that aren't flat or lack sub.

Correct ----- and many naive producers do not understand this. Well stated.
