It is the living room.

Those don't look like the factory default settings. Did you do a processor reset? After a reset you can re-run Audyssey. In any case, it is better to set your fronts to small and dynamic volume to "off". Source level for both analg an Digital should be 0, not 10. For crossovers, you can start by setting it to 80 Hz for all channels, and go from there.

I did not reset the processor. Turning dynamic volume off really did not work out. Reducing the digital sound level greatly reduced overall volume so it remains as set.

Did you set them speakers to small? You really should, let the sub handle the low bass. Dynamic volume reduce dynamics but that's fine if you prefer flat, compressed like kind of music.

Yes I did. I've decided to have a tech come in to reset the AVR, make all necessary adjustments then rerun Audyssey.

Thank you very much for your generous help PENG.
