1. A method for minimizing the spectral deviations in the cross-over region of a combined bass-managed subwoofer-room and bass-managed satellite-room response, the method comprising: defining at least one second order all-pass filter having coefficients to reduce incoherent addition of acoustic signals produced by the subwoofer and the satellite speaker, the all-pass filter being in cascade with at least one of the satellite speaker filter and subwoofer bass-management filter; wherein the coefficients of the all-pass filter are adapted by minimizing a phase response error, the error being a function of phase responses of the subwoofer-room response, the satellite-room response, and the subwoofer and satellite bass-management filter responses.
