Wiim Ultra with SVS Micro 3000

[Lagavulin]

I’d try maxing the volume at the sub - I saw that recommended for mine in a few different places - and control the bass level from the WiiM app. And I’d try pushing the crossover up to 80. Remember to set your sub gain in the WiiM app back to 0 before the next assessment, and don’t be surprised if you have to lower it further after a listen. The Tannoys may be rated down to 40 hz, but they’re working hard down there. The more lower frequencies you can push off to the sub (within reason) is that much extra work your mains don’t have to do, and the better they’ll sound handling mids and highs. 80 hz is well under your sub’s high end (240 hz, I believe), so that should be close to the sweet spot between sub and mains.

Just for reference, my Paradigms have a low frequency response of 53 hz. I started with the crossover at 80, then tried 120. While there wasn’t any discernible difference in the bass, the Paradigms seem a little happier being just that tad further away from their low end, so there at 120 it stays.

Thanks for this.
So am I right to say that I should set the SVS 3000 Micro volume back to 0dB instead of -30db and run the Sub and Main sync again?
Then in the WiiM app set the crossover at 80Hz and sub gain back to 0db and run RoomFit again?
I've read conflicting suggestions on leaving both main and sub to off for the high pass filter. However someone on here with the SVS 3000 Micro and Sonus Faber's was leaving the mains bass output set at off ... but conversely turning full frequency on for the sub and using the subs low pass filter. Having a pair of SF Guarneri Memento's myself I would at some point want to try those with the sub as well.
What do you think? Have I got what you were saying right or not?
Thanks anyway for your help

Maybe try setting the sub volume to -20 and -10 before jumping to 0dB. Run Roomfit at each volume and check the response.

Is that setting the volume of the SVS at -20dB and then again at -10dB in syncing sub and main? and then run RoomFit for each of those in turn to see which gives the best result?

Yes and if the frequency response looks OK at -20 or -10 then stop there. Take screenshots of the response at each level and post them here.
