I cross my REL at 22hz to my Spendor SP-1/2Es. I had the same problem with higher, (30,32 Hz) cross over points. . Start at lowest possible crossover point and work your way up. Samhar is right about the 88. Sumiko, the REL importer, recommends the soundtrack from "Sneakers" especially track 4. It has a bass drum struck over over and over so you can move your sub while listening to the same thing. Look at the Sumiko web site for their set up advice, I believe it will be valid for most subs. Sneakers is available from Amazon for less than $10 including postage.

Hello All,
OK so I had had some major issues with my room (which is a difficult room to treat by the way) Anyways I got some broadband traps and placed them in various places in the room, 1st reflection points etc. corners etc.
Now the was a significant increase in clarity I mean I only listen to vinyl and it was a major upgrade in richness and detail and it is seems the painful highs are gone. I dont believe the panels are taking anything away at least not for my listening tastes.
The bass response is good and bad. I have a pair of sonus faber concertos (bookshelf) and a vandersteen sub 2wq. I no longer have one note bass and its sounds great esp on Jazz recordings...except recordings that are very heavy on the base..the sub really seems to create very boomy base (the sub is on a Auralex Great Gamma as well)..I cant turn the dial past 9 oclock b/c of the significant base response. What do I do? I certainly like the improvement at times its way to much.
It seems I was not getting good base response before treatment and now at times its way to boomy.
The sub is connected through the speaker taps
I have it crossed over at 88 which is the sensitivity of my speakers.
