Hi All,
I moved to a new place 3 weeks ago, my old place had a smaller room but placement and construction was a nightmare. I came to the new place thinking my issues would be solved, but seems like i have new issues. Room size 20x10, my sub volume dial is at about 1-2pm (~65-70%) (Sub level on the AVR is set to 0db).
My main problem is, I miss the 'thump' in music. I feel my old DefTech Prosub800 gave a much better music experience. I know SVS subs are generally considered as movie oriented, does this mean the music thump is non-existent?
Judging by the price is it safe to say the SB1000 (non-Pro) is better that the Q Acoustics QB12? I ask because I recently visited FM @amrutmhatre90's house who had a BIC (cant recall the model) that sounded great for the EDM track he played and he said the QB12 sounded even better (for music). So if the SVS>QB12>BIC, why doesn't my sub sound as good or better? (same track)
Crossover is set to 100 and speakers are set to small. (gear is in my signature). Should I increase it? (@ankitbhargava - replying to your question here as that thread might not be the best place for this long story of mine)
All this said, the movie experience is great! The Dolby Atmos - 'Amaze' trailer, where it says "Powerful Bass" shakes the room to another level!
Lastly, If I listen to Hotel California 5.1 FLAC the bass is up to my liking, but typically, all 2.0 FLACs that i play via JRiver (WASPI output) seem to have a rather dull bass and this is driving me crazy. Is it the room? The sub? The AVR settings? The source? My output is via a GTX1080Ti and another is via an Intel NUC 7.
I tried the subwoofer crawl last night, could not get anything conclusive, the place where it was originally placed seems to be the best.
I do not have the original mic for MCACC, i tried running MCACC using an Auydessy mic but results seemed off and I have read the mic pic-up levels matter, so you can't really swap mics, so this option is not viable too.
I have tried to play around with the phase with no much success.
Below is the layout of the room. I have sofa coming in, the windows have full length curtains. A thin/light carpet 4x7 is placed in front of the main listening area.
I already have another issue with my FS that i am still trying to solve, mentioned in this thread, see the last few posts.
Thanks for your time and looking forward to your help.
