Oh thank God, I thought it was a different Randy that was just going to tell me everything sounds THE BEST.

I've had my REL T0 sub between open baffles for a while now -- it's raised about 18" from the floor on a wooden stool where its downward-facing driver is on a level with the centre of the 15" full range drivers for the O/B's.<br><br>For me, the benefit of a sub isn't just for the bass. I think it makes for better, more holographic, engaging and atmospheric sound right across the frequency range. Don't know why that should be, but it's my subjective observation.

I tried moving my single Rythmik F12G subwoofer away from the floor standing speaker toward the middle as much as my setup allows after watching this. The change was definitely a noticeable improvement in bass and soundstaging. Thanks so much for this. Very helpful.

Good stuff Ron. I would've also mentioned setting a house curve. Most of the time, aligning the subs flat to the mains will not yield enough in room bass and everything <100hz will need a bump to taste and based on the room.

Your starting point is so much better than most that have a normal room under 30m2.<br>I see no room modes on the first graph w/o subs

Great job, Ron! I’ve been holding off doing this but now you’ve inspired me. Really appreciate it.

I always assumed that aligning the subwoofer "phase" with the main speakers isn't about having all the transducers in sync, but compensating for the distance difference between the components, so that at the listening position the fundamental in low freq (sub) arrives at the same time (in perfect phase) with the harmonics reproduced by the monitors avoiding the comb filtering in the overlapping domain.

I bought a REL 1205 mk2 sealed sub and placed it in the middle of my speakers to start, adjusted the knobs a few times and it was perfect. I know having multiple would be better but honestly it’s such a huge improvement that when it’s off I feel everything sounds wrong lol. Great video Ron, it’s definitely impressive what more subs can do 👌

Well, what led me to your video is that I’m preparing to put together a dual subwoofer for my theater. And I’ll admit, I wasn’t open to some of your suggestions, but the sound clips proved you right! I’ll be watching more of your stuff!
