[QUOTE="Strainger, post: 1141452, member: 839"] Sean, done that and done that and done that... in 2012 I had a massive thread or two on how I explored my listening room inch by inch... tried setting everything up across the width of the room, etc, etc. Led to me making my own basstraps, if you can believe me doing something with my hands. Point is: after years of experimenting, I am so sure of my listening position that I basically nailed down my chair to the floor - afraid that it may be moved during cleaning or whatever. I am also quite sure about the sub positioning (except for the Westminster horns giving perfect bass from the corners, scrambling my little brain). I used mics to measure and waterfall graphs and all that - so I am quite confident that my positioning is optimal. With your sub I am happy with bass down to around 30Hz (I'd guess), even if I have to rev up the ICE amp a bit. But even if I were to add another sub like yours, it still leaves me with the problem of two big subs placed aways ahead of the A7s. Also, they still don't go down to pipe-organ levels... And, seeing how bold you are in going diy and doing your own thing in the hifi-world, it rattled my bones to see you describing the infinite baffle idea as 'wild contraptions'! :p [/QUOTE]
