new setup for onkyo (rz800)with5.2.1klipsch speakers /subwoofer

[everettT]

Nice glad your making nice progress. It can be a never ending battle lol. Patience is definitely a virtue in audio setup. The numbers look good , especially for highly sensitive speakers. How's the sub sounding after the setup?

I just setup my new Av receiver sign klipsch speaker with SPL METER yesterday I put it on 75HZ
On meter face toward ceiling and change level DB by _+ on receiver remote control
Front left tower : -5.5db Full band
Center : +1.5db 100 HZ ( just boost some level to hear better detail)
Front right: -7.0db Full band
Height left : -1.5db. 80HZ
Height right : -0.5db 80HZ
Surround left : -2.5db 80HZ
Surround right -1.5db 80HZ
My previous speakers level was +8db for all
With this some change , sound quality was change noticeably and amazing , still maybe need some thing change ,please let me know if you are still thinking something wrong with crossover or ,,,.
And thanks a lot for all you guys helped me about this

the numbers look great! nice work.

The one modification I would recommend is setting the front tower crossovers to 60hz this is not because your speakers can't do it, it's because your sub can do it better. Combined with speakers at the same frequency it can cause issues.
and make sure double bass is "off"

secondly have you heard of the "subwoofer crawl" for subwoofer placement
sounds wierd but makes a very big difference.

I'd also recommend setting your L/R to small/use crossover. I'd not try just 60 but also 80 and 100. Glad you're dialing it in!

I think I figured out what you meant by sub crossover...on the sub itself?
