Well, I now have my Omnimic V2 and in conjunction with my dcx2496 have got my speaker tuned a little. It is a ~17"x40"x3" OB with 2 alpha 15s and a Dayton PS220 FR, powered by a Dayton DTA-1 amp (like 5w/ch). Here are my impressions/questions:
DCX settings: 2nd order LR @ 150HZ, 7db notches @ 300hz & 4khz.
1: It sounds very reveling, however, the majority of music I listen to (90s+ rock/metal) sounds so aweful I can hardly stand it. Like it's over the telephone or something. I haven't had the change to hook up my SACD dark side of the moon, but is this normal? Hotel california sounds pretty darn good I think.
2: Being OB, I'm not sure if the bass being different makes me think there's less of it, but I have <200hz at about +10db (no eq). Is there something that makes us hear bass different with OB? Am I a bass head? Is my amp too weak? Or do I just have to have a sub? (My 150lb 15" is upstairs and insanely hard to move)
3: Does what I would call "clarity" make a speaker sound very...forward? The vocals stand out much more on this for me than a standard cheapo bookshelf. The rest of the band seems to be almost in the background on many tracks.
Thanks!
