Solid to about 22hz... -4db

This is with room corrections, etc etc...

Everything is within +/- 5

This is for movies...

For music I didnt have to do anything -- it was "perfect" for the lack of a better word. For the movies section, there was like a 15db spike at 55hz... lol

    Here is the music calibration I cooked up...

    This is an 80hz crossover ---

    Never in my life have I heard such a seamless blend... just amazing

    Everything is basically +/- 2db

    The Crown's software was amazing...

    I had a 15db spike at 56hz..

    I pin pointed it at 56hz... went in extended the graph to where it got rid of the gradual increase in volume --- so it flattened it out perfectly.... then 56hz still had a 2-3db bump over the rest... so I went in and did 56hz again... and narrowed the band and flattened it out to just about perfection...

    Just amazing...

    After listening to a few familiar CD's...

    I can honestly say this is one of the best subwoofer integrations I have ever heard.....

    There is no exageration, nothing anemic... just perfectly flat and controlled...

    Double post...

    And I think I have kind of changed my mind with stereo subs....

    I could see adding a subwoofer - crossing the VMPS over at 30hzish -- then buying a monsterous SVS, crossing it at an equal position and cranking the SVS and tune the SVS to 16hz...

    That would be just flat out amazing...

    Just want to calibrate it ---

    Only took 45 min/1 h

    Why spend all that money to have a rig that isnt calibrated??

    I enjoy music immensely otherwise though :)

    Awesome - me too.

    I think this is probally one of the only ways to mix a 2 ch and HT setup...

    Have a sub that has the tone and accuracy for 2 ch crossed with a sub that can totally rock out the lows.

    Granted I am very dissapointed in the VMPS's low end response - they advertise 115db at 20hz... not quite ;)
