Hey folks,
I am trying to decide if I need a subwoofer or three.
So, upon suggestion from some kind members here I have started playing around with REW to get some baseline measurements for what my system is doing.
I thought I would share my experience here.
I am running REW on my HP laptop Windows 11 laptop out via USB into a Rotel RA1572mk2 integrated amp. From that out to Martin Logan SL3s. I have the electrostatic panels hooked up to the A speaker terminals and the woofers hooked up to the B speaker terminals. I am using an Anthem Arc microphone that came with an Anthem MRX 520 AVR.
Usually I listen to Amazon music via a Fire Stick through the TV with an optical hookup to the Rotel. I also use an AM/FM tuner, Bluetooth, and a turntable as sources. I am thinking about getting a Wiim Pro streamer and a MiniDSP so that I can do equalization. I am not really interested in hooking up a computer or server full time to the amp. Otherwise I would consider Equalizer APO.
Here is the Electrostat panels by themselves
This is just the woofers
This is both together
Where should I go from here?
What other of these graphs should I be looking at.
I am just getting started on reading about equalization, room treatments, speaker placements, etc.
Any wisdom or advice is appreciated.
Thanks!!
