EQ Freq Settings on Center Channel???

[greenhill]

Anybody like to share their EQ Frequency Settings on their Center Channel????......
just wandering if most are running a flat EQ.... or what frequencies we are bumping to bring out dialog....
my Yamaha RX-V757 has an EQ for the center Channel....I'm assuming most Recievers have this too....
I know these Freq are dependant on many things: room acoustics, speakers, placement...etc....
just wandering if there are common findings among others.... Thanks.

I leave my EQ off. I've tried manually adjusting the EQ on the centre channel and the others, but it sounds dull. Normal and Flat sound good for 5 minutes then become fatiguing.

For what?

Movies, I generally keep everything flat, because (imho) that's the way the producer intended it to sound. They tend to sound very good on my system in my setting that way. But then, I like my speakers, and I have an acoustical room. If I am clearly lacking some level of response, or annoyed by a preponderance of anything, I might then cut or add as appropriate.

SACD is another story. Depending on how it was engineered, calibrating the response of each speaker can make the experience that more fulfilling.

I'm of the opinion that you first select a quality speaker that you enjoy, and place them appropriately in an acoustically friendly room. There should not be much need for equalization in that environment...at least not for movies.
