I'm looking forward to a review of the new SVS Ultra Evolution Towers. Not the Pinnacles or the Titans, but just the entry level Evolution Towers. The Titans and Pinnacles are getting all the attention for now, but I think they are priced well out of reach for most home theatre enthusiasts. I would love to see a review of the Evolution Towers vs the previous Prime Pinnacles. Just a thought.

In my experience, speaker placement is the single most important aspect of stereo sound. It is challenging, time consuming but worth every bit of time and effort to get one's speakers dialed in. Once set up properly, I forget about the speakers, the cables, the amp and the source. All that it left is me and the music.

BTW.. who am I to be the Simon Cowell of home theater judging? 😅. I was very impressed with Pauls theater. We only spent like 10 mins demoing before we rushed out to go to lunch. Actually I wanted more time to hang out at Pauls house but everyone was hungy so we went to lunch. Paul's subs were very well blended. The bass and volume were exactly how I like to watch movies (about 10-15 below reference). Near field subs were not overpowering and did not take your attention away from the movie. Paul's home theater was on the same level as all of the theaters I heard at Mwave. Very well calibrated and just the right amount of volume and bass. Additionally, I really liked the scene lighting that Paul has around the whole room.

@@DailyHiFi This one is interesting first answer is from gemini AI Avoid corners and walls: Putting your subwoofer in a corner or right up against a wall can make the bass boomy and uneven. This is because bass waves build up in corners. Second answer is from ChatGPT Corner Placement: Placing the subwoofer in a corner can amplify its output because the sound waves reflect off the walls, creating a louder and more robust bass response. However, this might also lead to "boomy" bass or uneven sound distribution. My point is if you don't have IQ on the sub you can't compensate. Yes i know it will be a cheap sub. Means not very good, but you want to squeeze as much as you can from it.

Joe here. The best research on subwoofer placement has been done by Todd Welti at Harman. He has a paper which you can find online. To summarize, the corners offer the most room gain which can help with subwoofers with limited output, but they have worse seat to seat consistency. Mid-wall placement offers the best seat to seat consistency, but has less boundary gain than corners. More subwoofers are better for smoothing out room modes, with significant diminishing returns after 4 subwoofers. I would be weary of acoustics advice from AI chat bots. They're often wrong as they're scraping info from forums which can contain often repeated myths about audio. The output you've shown from AI seems to refer to common advice about speaker placement. If you ask it again if the same advice applies specifically to subwoofers, not main speakers, it might come up with a different answer.

In terms of only audio at Mwave.... the Ascendo room was the least loud and therefore not a favorite of mine. My favorite was the loudest room, JTR, but I will say the Grimani was the best Atmos experience even when sitting on the side of the room. SVS Room was only (I think) 5.2.4 and they also were playing well under refence, but they cranked it up on request and then it sounded a lot more like the other rooms. The RBH room was great too. Seems like it's hard for everyone to compare due to difference in preferred listening level and of course there was only a little overlap in source content played.

Yes joe the subwoofer can cause sbir. It will cause a cancelation with the walls at the frequency with 1/4 wavelength distance. Mathew Poes just did a presentation on this that can be found on KZread. I believe 3 feet is the max. That's why you should place in a corner and if the box is too big you'll get a cancelation no matter what.
