So over the past 20+ years of home cinema medling and installing for other people I've eventually solved a problem in my own room.
For years I've been able to position my Sub (Sub Crawl) method to give a reasonable response for my MLP but I'd always get a nasty Null around 1.5M forward which caused a problem if anyone is sat on the side sofa. Also standing up in the middle of the room the sound is thin which isn't good when music is playing.
Even trying Anitmode and various versions of Audyssey didn't overcome the Null.
I've tried dual subs in the past but hours and hours playing with positioning and level/gain/phase controls never really gave a satisfactory result, I always ended up with a slightly boomy one note bass.
I've recently purchased a BK XXLS400 and very near my preferred position I get good response at my MLP but still get the Null further forward.
So with my B&W ASW610 still available I decided to try a dual sub setup again and let the Receiver have a go at matching and EQ'ing them with SubEQ-HT.
The result has amazed me, for the first time in 20+ years and too many setups to mention I've got full deep bass across all my seating positions. The response is solid, fast and punchy with music and still digs the depths with LFE.
Obviously the results will depend on the room, subs and position but I can't stress what an amazing job the technology has done. I doubt I could have got anywhere near these results even with manual EQ systems and REW. The Audyssey Filters and the matching that SUBEQ-HT provides have been a system changer for me.
