In reply to:
i am still trying to find someone here in town that has a sound meter i can borrow. i dont wanna blow $20-$30 bucks on a part that i will only ever use once or twice. i need a calibrating disc while i am at it!!
John,
I will tell you that the investment in the SPL meter will be in your best interest. I have had mine for a couple of years and have used it more than a couple of times...If you rearrange the room, you'll need it...if you get a new DVD player, you'll need it. If you add SACD or DVD-A capability, you'll need it. If you add a different sub, you'll need it. You will want to know if you have any peaks and nulls with that new sub, right? You'll need it.
My advice: You'll need it.
AVIA is a good disk (the one I own) as well as Sound and Vision. I like AVIA best.
