Although I could us Dynamic Volume for music too. A short sample of my Music system, sorry for the shakiness:

You’ll get so much better imaging, and a much larger soundstage. Also, curious(as I don’t use it) what you particularly like about dynamic volume? Neighbors?

I will soon buy a pair of stands for those. I like Dynamic volume because I usually i keep my volume below 50 on the Denon, so it kinda boosts the vocals and mids.

Btw, once you move your speakers out, I think you’ll find a whole new world of sound. Reactions: snakeeyes and Sachb

G Grandzoltar Full Audioholic Apr 6, 2019 328 0 28 42 Oct 16, 2019 #85 Reference level offset as suggested by Audyssey should be set to 0 for movies. which actually allows for more dynamics and bass. It’s suggested for music to set the reference level offset to 10db or 15db because music is mixed at a higher level then movies. Selecting a higher dB offset is actually subtracting not adding to the sound. Try it play some bass heavy music and cycle through 0 5 10 15 and see what happens.
