In Reply to: My new Maggie .7s and my SVS SB-1000 sub.... not too great posted by Rodcarew29 on May 5, 2016 at 12:33:47:
Yes, Maggies further out into the room, 5' from the front wall isn't too far...defintely not close to the walls. Sub not in the exact corner, at least 6"-1' from walls if possible. You don't want too much "reinforcement", it will sound mushy/flabby.
50-60Hz is probably OK, I started with that, but after I measured, 40Hz @ -24dB was much better here [1.6s, SVS sub, don't recall the sub model (it doesn't say!), but the "big one"]. Set the sub input level much lower than you (probably) think you should set it. You shouldn't hear the sub per se, but you should know it's there, providing a base to the bass that you can sense/feel. You don't want to get bass fatigue, it does grate on the senses after a while, whereas tight and defined is the goal, not the "volume" of bass. Don't forget that without amp input filters, the Maggies are reproducing (some of) the lower bass too (though not that well sub ~50Hz by my measurements...).
With one sub, you are going to get a very small sitting window where it sounds good. That's the nature of low bass, nothing you can do about that except get more subs, but even that gets a bit awkward in the analog domain with more gadgets.
Consider the ~$100 "investment" so you can measure instead of "guess". Might open up a new field of interest, or frustrate the hell out of you... I really doubt it'll save you any time in the long run, regardless. But it will improve results, and at least you'll know. :)
