Subwoofer Calibration

[SRW1000]

I actually spent over 8 hours with MSO and hated the results. I calibrated everything to my listening position and it still sounds good in the other three seats (although not as good ). I have a multi-purpose room that opens to two other rooms and I don't think MSO likes that type of situation. I was really hoping for better results, but it didn't turn out for me

Interesting; most user reports I've read have been amazingly positive.  Perhaps it is your room configuration, since the open areas could be causing some harder to control reflections that make balancing too difficult.

Good to hear you gave it a shot, and there's no disputing the smoothness of your current results, so I'd call that a win.  (And we really don't care that much about the other seats, anyway.  )

I think one of the issues is I have a massive room null where my wife sits to my left. I've tried everything to get rid of it, but it's literally there with every subwoofer in the room where I'm able to place them. I think that messed up what MSO was trying to do...who knows. I was able to get great results on my own even though it took me two weekends to get it where I liked it.

And you're right...as long as my seat sounds great, that's all that matters

Wow! Interesting that there is a 'massive null' to the left of the money seat and you couldn't work around it. It still looks like you achieved wonderful bass response in a difficult room. Enjoy!

It's very strange...it's about a 3 foot circle and that seat is on the outer edge of it. What I found is if I got rid of the null there, it made the rest of the room a lot worse (by adjusting the timing of the delays).
