Well, I hope I wasn't threadjacking too much; as far as I see it, the best case for digital processors is for messing around with the time domain, not for x/o'g.

Ah, so you feel a bit of phase shift at LF is beneficial... interesting. I've always loathed ported bass (and couldn't agree more that Mr Wilson is targetting morons by porting what is otherwise an excellent recipe with that sub); clearly it adds too much delay, not to mention the other issues.

I've never had the luxury of wandering around at orchestra practice, but I was recently at the Barber Of Seville at the Coliseum in London. Benny Hill set to music I thought, esp. with the English translation and Jonathan Miller's direction, but very good fun. Anyway, the acoustics were quite lovely (nicest I've heard in a hall in my limited experience)  and the bass - well, I think I'm beginning to understand what you are on about - almost a "spongy" feel to it, with a lush decay. So are you saying that a little delay at LF can help reproduce that feel of a long, gentle reverb of a hall has in our crappy little listening rooms?

Please feel free to move this if it's too far off track.
cheers
