    Calibration and lens memory

    Opening for my projector setup I had a question about calibration and lens memory. In my case I'm using lens memory for CIH but in general if you're changing the zoom on a projector, do you need to calibrate for each lens setting or will one set of calibration values work for all? My guess is...

    Projector distance question

    Thanks for the tips. That's helpful. Regarding aspect ratio, I am certain on the 2.35. My room does support it, actually better than 16:9 (which would start bumping the ceiling and my center speaker) and philosophically I do really want my 2.35 movies to be larger. So now I'm stuck on a...

    FS: B&W 5 channel system, Velodyne subwoofer

    My only hesitation is from lack of experience shipping stuff like this. Getting the boxes, wrapping them safely, etc. But at this point I'm considering it. 602s may sell this weekend. If you'd be interested in the others, PM me.

    Appreciate it. The 602s have a potential sale but it won't be confirmed until tomorrow.

    FS: B&W 5 channel system, Velodyne subwoofer

    Tried that and tried a vacuum cleaner hose (the other recommendation I got). I'll leave it as an exercise for the buyer who can get them at a great price. [emoji3]

    Projector distance question

    Planning for a projector install and I had a question. My seating distance from screen will be 14', and my room length is 23'. I'm aiming for about a 127" width constant height 2.35 screen and currently leaning toward the Epson 5040UB projector. Given these specs, it looks like the Epson could...

    FS: B&W 5 channel system, Velodyne subwoofer

    Reference Level and more speakers

    I guess my question is more about how movies are mastered with respect to it. It's not really an Audyssey thing so much as an industry standard. But I'm wondering if mixes are normalized based on number of speakers so that MLP hears the same loudness whether it's a 5.1, 7.1, or Atmos mix. Or if...

    Reference Level and more speakers

    I had a basic question that I can never find spelled out in descriptions of THX reference level and various surround mixes. Are the assumptions of decibels at reference level based per speaker or for the entire mix? So if you are playing at reference, is each speaker playing at average 85dB or...

    3 Weeks with Audyssey, the Good, Bad and the Ugly Part 3. Where to from here?

    I've found very good results with the Audyssey app which allows you to specify the frequency range in which to apply the correction. I've been using Audyssey for 300 Hz and down where room modes are a bigger issue and it has really flattened out the response. But above that it's turned off. This...

    B&W CM Clearance -- To leap or not?

    I did make a decision. I was able to get in home audition of the Aperion Verus II Grand, B&W 703S2, and Revel Concerta2 F36. For me listening to them all the F36 were the clear winners so that's what I ended up going with. I have a fairly large room and that may have been part of the problem...

    Receiver and amp pick for full 7.2.4 Atmos setup

    Old thread but new info for anyone interested. I don't know if it came with a firmware update or it's always been there, but with the Denon 4300 and an 11.1 channel setup you can choose either Height 2 or Front to go to pre-amp. So you can just use a three channel amp for LCR and let the...

    Opinions on Audyssey App

    I've run calibration once but loaded different curves to the receiver multiple times. Will need to run again soon so we'll see how that goes.

    Opinions on Audyssey App

    If that's the case and it doesn't expand beyond what it is now than it's a missed opportunity for them.

    Opinions on Audyssey App

    I've been following the thread for the app on avsforums. So many people have been having glitches I may just be lucky. Denon x4300, no glitches ever. I ran setup with 8 mic positions. Then messed with turning off the mid frequency bump, duplicating the curves to change the cutoff point, even...

    Opinions on Audyssey App

    Worked without issue from me. Essentially same experience as the receiver but after I could choose to apply it only to the low frequencies.

    Audyssey killing high frequencies

    You could try the Flat setting instead of Reference for the Audyssey curve. Also, if you have a newer receiver you can download the Audyssey app. It allows you to shape the curve as well as to cut off at what frequency it runs its' correction. For instance, I have Audyssey running equalization...

    Measuring angles from MLP

    Very cool! I'd been looking for generic angle measuring tools, not a specific speaker one. I'll have to try it out tonight. Doesn't quite do everything I was looking for (vertical as well as horizontal angles, and positional angle not just toe in), but for a $1, it's worth a try.

    Measuring angles from MLP

    Both of these were the approaches I had been taking up to this point. I had assumed that by now someone had come up with a magic app that did the work for you. Or attached a laser pointer to a protractor or something. Good to know I'm not missing something.
