Welcome !

Always glad to have another analog guy in the mix. Interesting placement of your sub, I'm assuming it provides the optimum bass response in that location.

Placement of Sub

I did place the sub at the front right corner, and the bass was heard at the back left corner. One of hi end HT store owner suggests me to place in the middle, and the bass really comes out. I see in Audiogon one audiophile puts the sub in the middle of his system (the speaker is Magico Mini, I forget the sub's brand).

Yes. By placing the sub in the middle, I get a good bass response. I first placed it at the front right corner, and the bass was heard at the back left corner. I got this advice form one hi end HT store owner in Jakarta, Indonesia. And I feel, wow, what a difference now!!
You might try the placement with your sub.
