I'll try 65Hz next time I feel ambitious.

Along the way (but not previously mentioned in this thread) I treated the room. I did gobos for the first reflections and added 4 GIK bass traps. That made a big difference and was well worth it. I still have a narrow suck-out at 55Hz but I don't hear it that way on program.

I don't know if a suck out would work for or against me (at the crossover) but this 60Hz tuning I have now is cooking. It's focused, tight when it should be, no bloat and I think reflective of what is in the source. It changes quite a bit according to source. The best part to me is that it's very "audible." You hear the lows not just feel them. To some that might sound backwards but just getting to feel bass is stupid easy. Now I can really HEAR clear, defined yet weighty bass. It goes deep yet it's got tone and scales up and down the spectrum without making a fuss. Huzzah.

Achieving just this degree of success has been a journey but I've learned stuff. If only I could remember what that was!
