Heheheh!!!!!! Well, that's good to know because I'm getting ready to jump
back in and finish it up. My new mobo just came in and the studio is up and
running again. Looks like the one I was using previously (a refurb that I
got from NewEgg becqause there were no new ones available) was defective.
The new one is a bit snappier and feels more stable than the other one ever
was. Anyway, as for the bass, I did reposition the subs about 1' apart
almost centered on my sweet spot. The previous positioning was partially
phase cancelling. the LF is very obvious now and translates very well. I've
got the system wired in to a stereo downstairs that is driving a pair of ADS
1520's in our rehearsal/drum tracking room. Those puppies will definitely
give you ......if not a reality check, then at least a *consumer hifi in the
living room* check.
I do need to get my distances measured a bit more precisely though. Seems
like over the last 2 1/2 years, things have grown legs or something.
;o)
