I recently ordered a pair of Cap 1400s and got a shipping notification that they're arriving on Monday! I want to make sure I can get them sounding as good as possible, so I was wondering if it would make sense for me to get an Anti-Mode 8033S-II. My room is pretty rectangular (with a hallway leading away from it) and there's a null for certain frequencies (around 40hz?) right around the seating position. Unfortunately, the seating position can't be changed for now. My room is 25' D x 18' W x 7.8' H for a total of approx. 3500 cubic feet. It's not a dedicated theater (I have bookshelves and a desk with a PC in the back of the room) but when we're watching a movie, we treat it like one.
My preamp is a Bryston SP3, which does not have any automatic room correction functionality. I have an SPL meter and WAV, and although I've never used WAV, I'm up for trying. (For my other stuff, I just adjusted the SPL at my seating location to make sure each channel was the same, and then input the distance info into the SP3. No EQ beyond that.)
I know that the Cap 1400 has an LF Adjust dial on the back, but I'm not sure what it does and whether it would be sufficient to get the best sound. I'm reluctant to add additional electronics in the mix, but if it will make a significant improvement, I'd be up for it.
Has anyone tried the Anti-Mode 8033S-II with Cap 1400s? How does it compare to tweaking the LF Adjust dials on the back?
Thanks!
