Finally I’m proud to say that I own a subwoofer. Last night I drove to FedEx to pick up the sub. It was already late when I got home, but hey, I had to open the box and do a little test run. Well, somehow I managed to stay up ‘till 2:00am tweaking the sub and listening to music, it’s amazing how fast time goes by when you’re having fun.
My room dimension is fairly big, about 28x14x9.I plan to use the system mainly for stereo/multi channel music. I’ve read lots of reviews before of owners saying how big this sub is, well, I have to say it again here, it’s big. It’s kinda plain looking big black box, so the WAF is not the greatest.
I didn’t do the 'sub-crawl'; I just put it in a corner next to the receiver. I couldn’t calibrate it because I couldn’t find the avia dvd on my local BB and/or borders. I do have a RadioShack SLM but it’s useless w/o an wave source. Anyways, the first cd track I listened to was
Michael Buble Home. I chose this track because it has one of the lowest bass lines I’ve ever heard. My M60s alone produced this low tight beautiful rumble in certain passages of the song so I had to try this one first. I was not disappointed; it shook the whole basement. After that, I listen to some classical music excerpts from this
SACD , track 13,14,15. Wow, a sub adds so much to classical music. There’s a pipe organ track on that sacd that’s really impressive. Does anybody have any good pipe organ recording recommendations? ...gotta have more pipe
Then I listened to sacd Gaucho Steely/Dan, it’s the best sounding sacd I have by far, top notch musicians too (JeffPorcaro/SteveGadd on drums=groove heaven). The sub adds a well balance punch... gee, this is getting too long; in a nut shell I’m very happy w/ the sub and can’t wait to calibrate it to get the most out of it.
