Hi Everyone,
I thought this group would be particularly interested in recent measurements I took for the bass in speakers I built using the SS Revelator mid-woofers.
The listening area is a 15" x 40 " and the speakers are set up on one end of the long wall. There's an arched, open entrance on the same wall which is open to the rest of the apartment, probably making it very hard for certain room modes to form.
Anyway, here's the in room response, with and without Roon parametric EQ applied:
You can probably get a nice bass bump if you use a smaller than ideal cabinet. I've heard at least one maker do this and it can definitely make the speaker sound more toe-tapping. The sibling, which is further from the end of the room, did not need the same corrections. Also the mic was not ideally placed, sitting a bout at the bottom lip of the tweeter instead of straight on-axis.
TBC: I'm not trying to promote myself here, just thought you'd be interested in just how much bass these little guys can produce in a room!
