hello all -
recently bought a VP100 to complete my 5.1 setup. have m22s as fronts, HSU subwoofer and old cambridge audio speakers as rears. driving all this is a yamaha rx-v2500 receiver.
my first reaction to the vp100 was that everything sounded very muffled. dialogue was strained and sound stage was absent. this is running dolby prologic II movie mode with 5.1 source (DVDs). other surround modes to not sound any better.
I did run the speakers through yamaha's automatic setup utility (YAPQ?): vp100 is small, m22 and cambridge speakers are large. subwoofer crossover is 160. distance and level seem appropriate. wiring checked out. I have checked to make sure both drivers are not loose. I have also played around with the receiver setting (setting all speakers to small, setting subwoofer crossover to 80) without any difference in sound.
one thing I noticed during yamaha's automatic setup - the utility sends out a sound tone which is detected by a microphone. when the test tone was sent to vp100, is sounded distinctly different that through m22. is this normal?
I wanted to make sure there wasn't something obvious I was missing prior to contacting Axiom's customer service.
any ideas?
