Over the last two weeks, I've been in audio heaven with my Axiom speakers. The M80 fronts, VP150 and QS8 X 4 surrounds produced incredibly sweet music, and dynamic movie effects, that I'm now confident I made the right decision, going the Axiom route.

I was reading in the Home Theater forum that HT is about 'accuracy and calibration' To get the most from my HT system, I thought it was time to go beyond the intial calibration I attempted on my Denon 3805 receiver (using the optional Denon microphone).

I believe there are two DVDs that may help with this? One seems to be Digital Video Essentials. Another is Avia's Guide to Home Theater. Do I need both, or is one a better choice than the other?

What I'm looking for: introduction to the key concepts, calibration techniques for most of the new audio formats (DD 5.1, DTS, DD Surround EX, DTS ES, DD PLIIx, DTS Neo, etc), Video calibration, especially for the nicer new DLP TVs that are available (e.g. Samsung HL-P5063W).

Any input will be gratefully accepted Thanks very much.
