Well it has been a crazy few weeks at my house. Specifically the last few days. Yesterday I was certain I was going to have to sell my whole system, then I got home, and had a very pleasant surprise waiting for me. So, for the time being, I get to keep my 18.2's.
I started tinkering with REW software on my MacBook Pro a couple weeks ago. I know just enough about it to prove myself an idiot. Anyway, I had used the Subwoofer crawl method to determine where to put my 18.2's in the past. After running REW, I had massive peaks and troughs. So I decided to put the Mic in the Listening Position, and move the 18.2's all around the room, and take measurements to see which spots provided the flattest response on there own.
This is what I had when I just did the Sub crawl method. This resulted in stacking both 18.2's in the back left corner.
And then this is what I had using the REW method. This resulted in placing both 18.2's in the front center of the room.
Both measurements were taken using the subwoofer signal generator directly from the REW program on my laptop into the Subs. The AVR was totally bypassed. I need to figure out how to run the signal through my AVR and include Audyssey in the mix. Any suggestions?
I was amazed at what a difference placement alone had on the response in room.
