Thanks for explanation. I was worried for a second until you went for the 'DIRAC solution....
I'm not doing any form of speaker correction.
If you want to REALLY get an eye / ear full? Go to Emotiva Lounge and find the DIRAC thread which is not up to OVER 150 pages. Have a bottle of Aspirin handy!
I did metrology for a living for years. And can assure anyone that the devil in DIRAC and similar sytems is repeataility of measurments. Doing it a different way than you did today is a recipe for confusion and disaster. Those on the DIRAC thread on EMO webiste are really in a state.
For example? Some settings of LFE would appear to apply a 10db BOOST to those frequencies. Some people are hung-up on what I'd consider (for music) massive SubWoofer Overkill.
I get it going from 101db speakers to something in mid / low 80s. Makes PERFECT sense. I have 1.6s and find a PAIR of Parasound A23 suit me fine.....One per speaker but NOT yet an active crossover. So while I am passively biamping, i do NOT get the full and potential 3db benefit were I o go full ACTIVE.
Without all the electronic aids I could EASILY see needing more than 10x the power when going from highly sensitive KLIPSCH to Maggies!
