Just got a new used Velodyne F-1800 subwoofer. Sensational! Wham, Slam,
and
IMPACT like I have not heard in my system.

Gary, given all the time you've spent at the *House Of Bass* (and I mean
that in a good way), I mean Dave Clark's place' I can't believe it took you
this long to get a decent subwoofer! ;-)

Of course the F-1800 is about a 2.2 on the ten point scale of Dave's 2-sub
super-system.

However, a most interesting side effect - I immediately noticed that the
surround sound is much improved with the sub in the system!

Well first off, I'd respectfully ask that you live with the whole thing for
about a month and try some fine tuning before you go public with some
far-reaching conclusions.

I am running all
of the channels as "Small" with the sub doing the bass chores for all
channels plus the LFE channel. My theory is that this has made all
channels
much more alike in their sound because they are using the same sub, so
they
are all full range now and the bottom end is the same and the top is
reasonably similar.

Could be.

Thus, all I have to do is adjust levels to get very evenly matched
channels all around.

You still can't fight the fact that every speaker in a surround system works
into a unique environment, and therefore it just about has no choice but to
sound different.
