    I guess us old farts (me included at 45) can learn something new. :lol:

    Yep, I didn't have a whole lot of confidence going into it, but I'm glad I gave it a 2nd shot.

    Another week of fiddle-farting ended up here:

    Crossover: 1 click below 9 o'clock (approx 50Hz; the Harbeth's are 3dB down at 46Hz)
    Level: 1 click below 9 o'clock
    Phase: 0 degrees

    Tried a little higher level for a few days (2 clicks above 9 o'clock), but I felt it was a touch too thick on some material.

    Congrats on the new sub and glad you are enjoying it. My next upgrade will be a sub time to move on from my energy sub. Interesting to see the Dr. still makes house calls once in a blue moon!
