I have mine defaulted to 210ms (33 filters across 5 speakers). It seems to be around where most folks end up. If it sounds good without it great. For many folks it helps. You need to be careful what music you test with too (you may pick a tune that is just way over the top and try to clean it up with MRC and end up over doing it). You want something with strong clean bass. I use BlueMan group DVDA for a lot of bass testing. Insane bass but very very clean.
George,
of which kind of bass are you speaking-electric or acoustic bass -
and in which frequency range-typical the "boom" "boom" range about 80 to 120 Hz ?
