Post Subject: Letting the music scale upPosted by zanon on: 11/23/2010

One thing I look for in playback is for the system to scale up as the music gets bigger. So, when there is a single solo, the sound should be small and focused. When there is a huge crescendo, then the sound should be massive and from all sides.

I added stereo subs helped with this scale -- and now I think it's because I placed them time aligned to the L and R of the LR channels. Often when sound gets big, it's because the bass has started to kick in.

There are also some mid bass modules you can get, so I suppose I could run subs at the edges, leave the main channels where they are, and then add mid bass between the main channels and the subs. I'm wondering though whether 150Hz would be too localized in such a configuration.
