That matches my experience. Changing the "mains" will likely require a sub adjustment regarding placement, volume level, x-over setting, etc. The reverse is also true. I'm taking it slow, avoiding OC behavior and enjoying the process. I think I found the "magic" combination or, at least to my ear, something that's pretty darn close.

It's always a long tedious process, but worth it in the end. What makes it easier is if you can measure (REW is free). It gets you 90% of the way there, then use your ears for final tuning.

I would have agreed with this statement until I optimized my recently purchased Joseph Audio Pulsar speakers with a single REL T7i sub in my new house. In many instances, it is the equal or better than my previous speakers including the MBL 116's and the Martin Logan Summit. As we all know, it's all in the details.

I am beyond thrilled with the results.

Congrats on the new speakers and sub. You sure change transducer types over time - ESLs, omnis and now cones. I heard Joseph Audios at RMAF a few years back and they were outstanding..
