Hi all,
Just completed my lounge decoration properly integrating my home cinema, now have a 5.2.4 Atmos set up - Denon X4500 running MA Bronze, 4x MA C265 in-ceiling speakers and dual BK Monolith DF subs (with an integrated recessed Sapphire 106inch electric screen and Optoma UHD51), love the set up - awesome - but I want to get the subs right/better.....
Don't get me wrong it sounds good, but struggling to balance and integrate the two Monoliths how I want them, I want deep thumping bass when required but without the booming effect.
I'm not an expert at all in this, but just when I get the bass right and sounding 'cinema like' with the deep thumping scenes in movies, another scene will start and the boom sounds toon over powering - very hard to explain.
Tried playing with multiple settings - speakers currently on 90-100hz (all small), bass crossover LFE 120hz, on both subs phase is 0, frequency max 120hz, He Gain 0 and Low level gain 12 o clock (connected via single mono). Both subs are DF and sitting on 32mm granite plinths as my lounge floor is raised on joists. Both subs are at the front of the room flanking either side of the TV unit (my only option). Room is rectangular 3.5m x 5.5m, so I'm sitting circa 3m from the subs.
Will an Anti Mode help with this, something like the 8033SII? Or am in wasting my money? Anyone have a similar experience where it's been worth while and worked?
Appreciate 2x monoliths is a lot of power, but I wanted to stop peaks and nulls in certain seating positions and it's achieved that beautifully. I had one before the decoration and just added the second, fantastic subs.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Will
