I have a pair of Harbeth 30.1's and whilst I really enjoy their sound always feel short changed in the bass department especially considering the size of the enclosures.
I picked up an REL T5i subwoofer yesterday and for about 7 hours I tried to integrate the subwoofer with the speakers and room. I don't think I have spent more time crawling around the floor on my hands and knees since my pre walking days.
No matter what I tried I either ended up with top much bass that I sensed was somewhat out of time with the Harbeth woofer or not enough and I would be up tinkering again trying to get the cross over/volume spother on.
Has anyone used a sub before - especially with Harbeth - and had success to a point where they can sit back and just enjoy the music?
Any thought or advice would be great. Most of what I have read so far is on the assumption that you have acresof space to move the sub incrementally to the right position. Mine is in a normal lounge where realistically I can place it in one or two positions (the starting point in the REL instructions of being in the corner is out of the question as this is where my hifi rack resides).
