Jinx,
Do yourself a favor and get / use a sound level meter...if the autocalibration did not sound right to you, but tweaking it by ear makes it sound better, then good for you...if you want all speakers to be level matched to a 75 db or 85 db level (dependant on which signal method you use...DVE, AVIA or the THX optimizers), having the sound level meter will help you to nail it...although it is primarily a base line...it is open to personal interpretation from there...but at least you know that your beginning state is level...
