Actually, probably not. I used Auddysey (sp?) to calibrate the speakers, so I think the volume is inthe right place. It's more about the flabby nature of a 10" driver as opposed to a 6.5" one, I bet. Just turning down the sub doesn't readjust my crossover settings and I don't run a sub+main setup, so the M60a don't play any of that low end (even at lower volumes).


Not sure of your exact situation but it sounds like mine which is caused room mode peak around 20Hz, a null around 50Hz and another peak around 90Hz. When running the sub I get the same bloated amorphous bass but while running only the M80s I get more of a punch. If I run both I get the bloat and the punch but the bloat tends to win out. However, when I used the SVS AS-EQ1 to EQ my sub the bass tightened up so I got both punch and rumble out of the subwoofer alone. YMMV and all that.
