I just caved and watched Independence Day without any subwoofer. Anyways, it was an enjoyable experience, except I was noticing a lot of emphasis on "sss" and "ttt" sounds, sometimes things such as crumpling a paper bag seemed a bit harsh. At times they sounded a bit tinny. I never realized this in music, only on this DVD. I wasn't playing it very loud, the total output was about 75db on the SPL meter, -20 or 15 on the receiver. I noticed deactivating the tone control on the receiver helped a little bit. I was slightly dropping the treble and then bumping up the bass. Otherwise the receiver was on straight dolby digital.
I have heard there is some break in time with the M22ti's (probably the same for the VP100) especially in regards to the high "tinny" noise. Anyone have experience? Am I placing them wrong?
Perhapse I'll try watching another movie and see if I can see the same results.
