I recently took the plunge and replace my trusted old Denon AVR-3803 with an Anthem MRX700. The Anthem is a massive upgrade, sonically speaking. It sounds as though someone peeled off a layer or plastic wrap from each or my speakers. I’ve been playing around with the ARC calibration software for several days, trying to get my speakers tuned just so. Now I find in some instances my bass is a little too powerful. I have an EP500 v2 and was wondering if simply dialling back the volume control a little—which was set to 9 o’clock as recommended in the manual—would help, but not make it that I would need to re-run ARC? I imagine this would also apply to other room correction systems such as Audyssey.
