Thanks for the tip on the 7.1 thread. I also started mucking about with my SACD player and found there is individual attenuation for each channel. So now I have that tuned, and recalibrated the 2805 with the Avia disk for movies, so I don't have to fiddle about with levels when switching between the two. What a relief!
