I have also found trusting your own hearing even if location isn't where the mfr. recommends.(Typically corner?)
Without specific room treatments and/or anti-node, moving my REL around to where it sounds natural led to being behind my listening position.
Crossing over low-30hz and I'm adj gain like the volume of the amp.
Probably not the "ideal" setup on paper, but it sounds(or not sounds?)like
whats expected-disappears,bass"floats" around the room, immediately heard if I turn it off, etc.
Corner placement was almost acceptable except didn't get the "floating"
sensation if that makes any sense.
A remote for the gain would be nice. Seeing some mfrs offering them on their top model.
2 or more would be ideal.
