    Sub at -12db after Audyssey

    Ok, so I had to run Audyssey about 4 times which means this thread is now 15 years old. But to anyone who followed this, I managed to get the sub level to about -7.5 and I had to set the volume knob to about the 8 o'clock position which is about 16% of the max I think. The bass is far more...

    Definitely gonna check this later and then I'll report back. The receiver is a Denon AVR-X2300. I've done a bit more research and looks like you are spot on. Various people have had to turn the sub volume as low as just 15% to get the level acceptable. I'll do it and then post the findings later.

    Oh ok. No, it just says set it to 12. But I will re-run later and check and try to get it closer to -5ish.

    No worries, cheers. Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure what you mean at the end with set volume to 75. Audyssey says set it to 12 O'clock. Do you mean 75% or -75db? Thanks again.

    I guess no magic formula then. I'll just have a fiddle around then and try and find something I really like and hopefully learn something about it along the way. Thanks for all the replies.

    Sub at -12db after Audyssey

    Exactly, I think I could live without as much bass, it seems overbearing when it kicks in. Would it be wise to reduce the volume of the sub after running Audyssey or would that screw up the overall balance. The other option I suppose would be to set it lower initially and then EQ again but...

    Sub at -12db after Audyssey

    It is 1 ft away from the two walls, so I think the placement is good. It does sound good, but I just want to make sure there isn't something obvious to you guys that could be better. Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on something.

    Sub at -12db after Audyssey

    Hi, It sounds quite boomy, but then again I'm not really used to having much bass in the room so I might need to just get used to it. There doesn't seem to be much detail in the bass, it just sounds like a bass throb surges up as and when a movie soundtrack dictates. I read that -12 means...

    Sub at -12db after Audyssey

    Hi folks, I have a Dali Zensor 5.1.2 setup with an E-9F sub. The room is small and square 12' x 12' x 7.5' which I understand isn't ideal. However, it is a dedicated room so I have the options to place everything in the best place possible. I have run Audyssey and think everything is generally...

    Best speakers to suit room size.

    Richer Sounds is local. Peter Tyson has good prices on the KEF products. That may or may not mean anything to you, I see you are in the US. Both have good websites though.

    Best speakers to suit room size.

    Thanks for the replies. Could you show me an example of the monitor speakers with the stands? I hadn't considered this at all but it sounds interesting. What would be the benefit of this over a couple of towers at the front? Thanks again.

    Best speakers to suit room size.

    Hi all. I am converting a room into a home theatre. It will be dedicated for this use and the dimensions are 11 x 11.5 x 7.5 ft (W x L x H). I may listen to music occasionally. The floor is carpeted and the walls and ceilings are drywall. I am leaning towards bookshelf speakers, centre...
