Incorrect placement within the room can also be a cause for boominess, in addition to running them to hot. Many assume corners are always the best location, this is normally not the case. Corner position may give you more output, at the expense of exciting all the room modes.

Ian had a nice video on how multiple subs can improve FR across a listening area vs the sweet spot alone. I had one EP500 and bought a second one after watching the video. The improvement in FR based on SMS-1 sweeps was indeed quite impressive. I am looking forward to the upcoming AS-EQ1, which can run two subs and EQ them independently in the time domain (how long a sound lasts) as well as the amplitude domain (how loud a sound is). It would be cheaper than buying a third or a fourth sub.

Oh, awesome, if you end up getting one, I would be very interested in your thoughts.

Great article! Now, who wants to lend me one of their subs so I can try this out? If you live close enough to the Toronto/Bowmanville area I can lend you an SVS PC+ 20-39. I need to get my AVR in for service so I'll be running with a stereo receiver for a while anyways.

Bridgman, how long do you expect to be without your AVR? I'll gladly trade you receivers if you still want to enjoy your home theater; my 3801 is overkill for my computer anyway.

Yep, running my monitor 9 V2'S, and my sweet spot is about 3 feet (my bed)

Hey, thanks.
I've been procrastinating about getting it fixed for a couple of years and haven't actually talked to anyone yet, but the extended warranty expires soon so I'd better get moving. I'll find out what the expected turnaround time is - it's an HK in Canada so probably has to go to Montreal or something...
The receiver works great but the front panel display, not so much.

I don't need the display, I just set my 3801 to stereo and the volume to -20 and control the volume through my computer.
