alandbush, thank you for taking the time to conduct these tests and share the results.
I am interested to do the same for my setup to better understand how my room is interacting. In my case, I severely lose bass response below 50hz which I find odd because my previous speakers were fine in this area (Primare amp + NHT 1.5 bookshelf speakers with NHT SW1P 8" sub). I'm simply not experiencing the prodigious bass output that the Phantoms are well known for unless I crank the system above 70. Anything lower seems to be anemic in the bass area. The phantoms are placed in the exact same spot as my other speakers using the same stands.
I've not used REW, but just downloaded it. I am in process of ordering the miniDSP UMIK-1 as well.
If I understand correctly, you are playing sweeps from your local library via Spark to the Phantoms while measuring via REW?
