Dear fellow members,
For a few months now I have been enjoying a pair of Genelec 8030c with a custom build sub (powered by a Ghent Audio nCoren 500 w amp).
I use a minidsp flex (balanced) for EQ and DSP and so far it is working well.
The genelecs are free standing in a room of 4 x 5 meter (diagonal ceiling on one side) and de sub crosses at 90 hz with a slow rolloff (6db per oct).
I positioned the sub between the genelecs and the genelecs are approximately 1.5 meters fron my ears.
This was the best sub position based on measurements and listening through the room when placing the sub at listening position.
Since the genelecs are meant for near field listening, should I position the genelecs closer to my ears?
At this distance, I have to boost the genelecs in the 100-200 hz region to obtain a flat crossover. I don't mind switching gear more suitable for mid or far field but I like the genelecs. I just don't want to use equipment in ways that it shouldnt be used.
Thanks for the help .
