Wayne,

Wheee! You and I have the same model equalizer and RTAs! Any tips for equalization that you'd care to share? My attempts to equalize my room have historically been disasterous, so recently, I've left my Bijou in bypass mode ....

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the great suggestions. Like yours, my system is top-notch, but alas, I have bad acoustics in my room that drives me crazy. My gear includes nice pieces like the Lexicon MC-12 and the Aerial 10Ts, so don't think it's the gear that's causing the trouble, but the room.

I've played around with crossovers and placement, but in particular, I have a lot of trouble with dialog intelligibility. (My system's, that is, not mine! )

I agree with your philosophy of only cutting, never adding. I've only added on rare circumstances; I try to cut whenever possible.

Here, here's a specific question for you: how long is "long enough" to get a good measurement on Slow on the RTA? Is ten seconds long enough, or should it be longer?

I'm going to check the THX web page and see if they have a PDF of the guide you mention.

Thanks again for the suggestions! You da man!

Not to be nosey but how do you get to just use Velodyne subwoofers? Do you have a job with the company or a review mag? Just curious In other words where do I sign up...lol

Yeah something like that, i dont work for any manufacturer though...

As far as my comments in another column about 1 sub, i stick by my comments that 1 great sub is better than 2 of lesser quality. i have a very large room, which sometimes needs more (which i said also) than 1. there is some misconception that two subs is always better than 1, and that is not true. wayne since you are extremely into thx i would assume that you know that though.

Subs - downward vs. forward firing?
If you were referring to that post in that forum. I have more than 1 setup. Thanks wayne.

you hadnt said that you stacked them, up to this point... every situation is different, however i always try to post in general terms, unless i have used/seen what the person is trying to do.
