Just got back from my hols and thought I'd play a little with my sub. In the end I spent nearly a day trying to get it integrated in a better way, and frankly I've given up on it ever working well on music.
Don't get me wrong, on films it's awesome, but using the high level outputs (it's a REL Q100) and running it in parallel with my kabers, it simply doesn't integrate, having obvious timing issues and a lack of control. I guess that the constrast with my much tighter kabers doesn't help.
Frankly, it's all a result of listening to Tones system. His clearly doesn't go as deep as mine using a sub, but frankly sounded miles better integrated, hence my interest.
So, no more sub with music for me...
