Randy, when using DVE you calibrate to 75dB. When using AVIA, you calibrate to 85dB.
I can't explain the differences you have experienced, Mitch. However, it is common knowledge that the subwoofer tones in DVE are off by something like 10dB. If you calibrate your subwoofer to 75dB with DVE, it will be somewhere between 6 and 10dB too low. If you're experiencing differences in results when calibrating your subwoofer, use the VE subwoofer test tone rather than DVE's. As far as I know, the tones on both discs should get virtually the same results for the rest of your speakers.
