It overwhelms the rest of the spectrum, and at times, is painful to listen to. It almost sounds like a giant clock radio, I'm sorry to say.

Other's that have listened to the system notice it immediately. It almost seems as if woofer beaming is the issue, and despite the inclusion of a notch filter in this range on my lastest round of XO's, the beaming persists.
The room appears to be overly "bright"...bare walls, no drapes, bare floor, etc. Have you tested them in any other rooms?
