Symptom

Lower frequency response curves do not seem to have been calibrated for SMALL speakers.

Remedy

Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not change for speakers that have been specified as SMALL in the configuration, or do not output these frequencies.

Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers’ low frequency limitations, no measurable sound is output for display.
