Personally, I found integrating a sub with main speakers is a rather frustrating journey. In the end, and in my room/system, the best result has come from NOT trying for "massage." Instead, I systematically tried a variety of gain settings at the minimum crossover (30Hz), then again at a slightly higher crossover. I focused not so much on listening for bass, but rather for correct timbres and credible soundstage. I found the DSpeaker (see sig) processor to be helpful in correcting for room modes. When I finally got piano music to sound close to that coming from a real piano, I stopped. In my room, the best sub location is on the centerline, about two feet farther away than the main speakers. Keep trying! Patience has it's rewards!
