I have a question about the Audyssey on the 2807-my fronts have 10" woofers and using an old Onkyo receiver, would hit down to about 60hz pretty well (ie, would knock things off the speaker if placed on top). After upgrading to the 2807 and running the Audyssey, it sets them to large, as I would expect, but in checking the eq settings, shows that at 63hz, it applied a -20db tweak to them. As a result, I get zip bass from speakers that I know are capable of providing decent bass at least (not subwoofer territory, but still). What I end up doing usually is copying the Audyssey settings to the manual eq and bumping the 63hz and above back to at least -3db to get back some usable bass. I then leave the speakers set to large, xover at 60hz for them and set the sub xover to 80hz.
I am wondering a few things-
1. Why does audyssey lower the db level SO much on these relatively large speakers?
2. If left set to large, does setting a xover point on the 2807 actually do anything? I suspicion it does, but am not sure.
3. And finally, I've noticed, that even though I copy the Audyssey settings, as mentioned in a previous post, it doesn't capture everything. The straight up Audyssey settings sound better for everything BUT the bottom end. It sounds much "harsher" and overly loud after copying the settings (not in the bass region though, more in the midrange).
Any thoughts?
