Hello, This is my first real system (intimus 4t hybrid), and so far I've been really satisfied.  However, when tuning the bass according to several articles on the net, I was instructed try to adjust the phase if the bass sounds a bit "boomy."  However I could not seem to find any phase setting on my Bravus II 8D, or ...
