You're talking about buying a Radio Shack analog SPL meter and calibrating you surround sound setup using either AVIA or Video Essentials on DVD, right? Well, if not, and you haven't, do! Not to go off base in this thread, but I've been reading alot of posts here and my take is more writers here are better at discussing sound rather than pure HT tweaks.
