Infinity Sm-152 Setup

[nwsalmon]

Hello all,
New member here with a question on my recent purchase of a beautiful pair of Infinity SM-152 speakers. I bought these from someone that purchased these brand new and never hooked them up. They came to me in the original boxes.

The only thing the speakers didn't come with was the instruction manual on how to adjust the mid/high frequency level. I have these connected to a Yamaha RX-V863 receiver. This receiver has YPAO Automatic System Calibration. For the subwoofer the Yamaha manual tells me to set the frequency control to maximum before running the calibration routine. Should I also set the SM-152 mid/high frequency level controls to maximum before running the calibration routine? If so, where is maximum on the frequency controls? In other words, do I turn the control all the way clockwise or all the way counter-clockwise to reach maximum?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Here's the manual, but it doesn't seem to be much help. I would set the controls at their midway points for starters.

Thanks for link. I'll take your advice and see how it sounds at 1/2 way.

I've been playing them at what I'm assuming is ~1/4 of the way and they sound great.

These speakers are much nicer...I was using a pair of Polk RT800's and the difference in sound is amazing. I'm now hooked on quality speakers.
