How did the fronts end up at 5.5 db each?

Usually, they are left at 0 as a "reference point" at the main db level. Adjust the center and surrounds, and sub accordingly.

Try putting your fronts at 0, then your center at +1 db. Nudge it up a little if you feel the need. Having the center up a couple Db's from the mains will help with the quiet scenes, but won't really make the action scenes as loud, that is what you want.



Just to clarify, are you not supposed to put just the Left Front to 0 @ 75 or 85db and then calibrate the rest of the system from that reference level?
