Got a little restless because I haven't tweaked my system for several months, I decided to start a new tweaking project.
I am testing out the theory that if I move the crossover point from 80Hz to 100Hz, the bass will be "stronger" because more of the low range is handled by the subwoofer, and hopefully the upper range distortion will be lower because the mains need for LF excursion would be lower. My subwoofer is located at the center (between LR), and I'm okay with mono bass.
After re-doing the FIR filters (room correction + 100Hz crossover), below is the resulting REW measurement.
I'm also liking what I hear -- slightly different -- a little more bass -- a little more clarity in the upper bass/lower mids (might be confirmation bias, who knows).
I'm hoping to hear your comments about the resulting measurement.
A little more low end (<100Hz), less messy 100-300Hz area.
Please ignore the wide bump at the 3-10kHz area, that's the microphone bump (no mic cal file).
System wide distortion is really low (<1%) throughout most of the audio band (40Hz-10kHz).
Starts to climb above 1% starting 40Hz ... and only reaches 5% at 20Hz.
In-room sound decay is nicely <300ms throughout the audio band, except for the room mode peaks at the low end.
The mdat file is also attached.
Thank you in advance.
