Hi guys,
I'm still quite intrigued with the EQ settings on my 3805. Why do Genesis 471 says to put the EQ settings on manual to match the flat response??
As far as I understand, the manual setting gives you the possibility to tweak at your own taste. As for the flat setting, it'll will be, as the words says, just flat.
In my specific case, I used to enjoy more the flat option before, but after a while I've tried Gene's option (3805 review) to leave the EQ OFF.
Later on, Buckeye gave me a pretty good explanation in how to tweak the EQ settings properly and that seems to be the best option indeed, so now the MANUAL setting is according to my personal taste (put a good reference CD, select the receiver mode to stereo, start tweaking with frequencies on manual setting and once you got to the point, just mirror image the same settings to the other speakers and you're done).
I use to swap between OFF & MANUAL settings now. I discovered that the FLAT setting now sounds pretty much METALLIC to my hears ( or too much of a DIGITAL sound, if you want...).
I might be doing something wrong, I don't know, so I would appreciate to discuss that more deeply, in order to cross-check data.
I'm tweaking my whole system now, due to my recent woofer upgrade.
Perhaps we better start another thread, as to avoid been off-topic.
