Mike replied to a thread Venturing into the realm of room acoustics and treatments... in Acoustic Treatments & Digital Room Correction

I don’t agree since the Alpha 2D’s work optimally at 500hz (not sure how that’s “bass” in their definition). But at least, as you said, you can move them if they don’t work out well. I think you’ll find a midrange suck out and find you have to...
