Unnatural could also mean, your not used to hearing the full frequency of music. Remember in todays world of iPhones and ear buds and clinical sounding of CDs, we are not used to full range sounds anymore or what some call warm sounds.

Precisely, we're on the same page (And that's what the sw is supposed to provide) what I mean by "unnatural" is not blending to the mix and standing out with a little too much reverb, if it's the correct expression, I'm lacking the right words maybe.
(could this be related to the crossover setting you asked just a while ago?)

Yes, if you set the cross over too high your going to excite frequencies that don't need it, like 100Hz and higher, that's where the boominess will come from.

SVS recommends for my LS the following settings :
 low pass filter 50 hz with a slope 24db/octave

I'll try this and report soon, in the meantime I welcome any comment from the more experienced around.
thanks guys

As mentioned, 50Hz should be your staring point considering your mains freq response. PM coming.....

^ You're right, you had already mentioned that setting and it works well.
Coming next: the phase test/config routine...
